Dangers of Excessive Scrolling
One of the most dangerous misuses of technology is excessive scrolling on the feed
Each content piece is different
Causing your mind to go from thought to thought
Scrolling for the sake of scrolling is mindlessly doing a mindless task
The distraction muscle powers up
‘What is this distraction muscle you speak of?’
It’s a muscle not visible to the senses
Due to absent blindness, we undermine what we cannot see
But what we cannot see often plays a bigger role than what we can see
You can’t see Wi-Fi
You can’t see your voice
Can’t see the microwaves that penetrate your food which excites the molecules
Can’t see a lot of things
Doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
A strong distraction muscle won’t let you focus even if you tried
Inability to control your mind makes it hard to understand the mind
Inability to understand the mind makes it hard to coexist with the mind
Inability to coexist with the mind = Anxiety
Small acts have big rewards or consequences
Remember, man created technology
We own technology
Not the other way around
Tech does what we tell it to do
But if you can’t even do that, then your tech will gladly tell you what to do
