Fractured vs Focused Attention 📱 The Cost Of Infinite Scroll & Algorithms

AI, Algorithms, Social Media... our attention is more fractured than ever, so how do we bring it back into focus? Today's video explores the addictive machine of social media & algorithms, the cost they have on each of us (+ society), and what we can do about it. By watching this video, you're already taking the first step towards fixing your fractured focus ✨ Understanding the problem is a core part of beginning the solution, especially when dealing with the addictive habits of scrolling. Raising awareness on HOW social media operates, including the underlying business model, helps you see what you can do to take back control of your time and attention. Reading, Flow States, Creativity, Journalling, Note-Taking... there are so many ways we can invest our time so that we're building a better version of ourselves, rather than spending that time scrolling into the void. This video explores all aspects of social media algorithms and how they lead to the formation of reality tunnels & echo chambers, some of the most important concepts of our time to understand. Each of us has a different relationship with social media & technology at large, there's no one size fits all solution. I hope that by watching this video you gain awareness of the problem so that you can implement your own version of the solution.
