RE: Adolescenti: i social media fanno male come il fumo? / Teens: is social media as bad as smoking?
Unfortunately, I think it's too late to intervene. And we know how it ends when something is imposed from above, by institutions. Of course, the problem is serious, and perhaps most people don't want to tear themselves away from their screens. I don't know if they're aware of their addiction, but they'll never give up scrolling through images and videos on their phones.
I believe it became a habit, no longer a way to kill time.
I am one of those rare species leaving the phone behind and switching it off (the internet) if I don't need it. Same counts for answering phone calls if numbers I don't recognise.
I also cover my cam and play puzzles, wird and mind games. I see the device as a tool but mostly an intruder (the brains the X generation had is no longer)
The neverending scrolling sounds not different from the endless zaooing with the remote control. Already that was a bad sign of not being able to sit and pay attention and focus.
This is what the governments started who knows on purpose to set restrictions and have total control since many agree the gives should save human kind. Such a joke.
I use it as a tool too. I haven't used Facebook in years. Just X.com for info on cryptocurrencies.
You're right, we've gone from passively watching TV to passively using our phones, with the difference that we always have our phones with us.
Was there a plan behind all this? I don't know, but a mass of people glued to their phones all day are more easily manipulated, have less interest in politics, in short, they're the perfect voter.
