Reading experience | "Save the mobile phone brain" knows it can't be done, but it is super. Disaster. Ring!

After most of the summer vacation, are there many parents like me who let their children use a lot of 3C even if they are helpless?

The quasi-primary Yisheng who only had a holiday in August followed me to work. Although he had arranged activities and asked him to complete it step by step, he still had a lot of time to take care of, especially in the busy state of explosion. Occasionally pay attention, and can't help but be surprised that modern technology allows children to operate so easily. Whether it is using a small painter, solving puzzles, or looking up Otani Shohei's videos, they can figure it out on their own.

Mobile phones are more "easy to obtain" and "easy to operate" than computers. Many young children can easily search for various videos to watch. No matter the content or usage time of videos, they really need parental control. The author believes that children under the age of eight Children should not use mobile phones for more than an hour a day - this point, it seems that most of them can only be practiced after school starts.

The author of "Save the Mobile Brain" reminds that it is very important for parents to lead by example, but it is difficult for even us to reduce the frequency of mobile phone use, let alone quit; the "mobile phone usage APP" that was re-downloaded because of this book was actually installed a few years ago. In the end, I deleted it because I didn't want to face the reality. I hope this time I can examine myself strictly...at least a little longer?

Back to the question: "Why is social media so convenient, yet free to use?"

Of course, the huge $$ is at stake!

The time people spend in various software such as Facebook is as precious as gold to companies. Every page swipe gives an opportunity for advertisements to jump into the eyes happily. The longer the browsing time, the more helpful the commercial sales. However, the pleasant dopamine that doesn't belong to us will soon dissipate, only the lost time and focus will be real, and the efficiency of the brain will be reduced by too many distractions.

"Many occupations have disappeared due to automation and artificial intelligence, and those jobs left to humans may require concentration. But ironically, concentration is the most needed in a digital society, but it is also deprived of it because of the digital society. ability." -p197

Before reading, I knew about the harm of mobile phones to concentration and other aspects, but I was reluctant to face it. The Swedish author analyzed the ancient and modern human brains and pointed out the biological characteristics that made us survive in the past. In fact, they have not yet adapted to today's digital technology. Point to the harsh/terrifying reality that must be faced:

1. Just having your phone with you is enough of a distraction.

2. I am used to seeing the convenient "lazy bag" but I can't understand it deeply

3. Difficulty concentrating on the page you are looking at, but more fascinated by the "next page"

4. The display frequency of likes on social software is not instant, it comes from rigorous calculation to attract attention from time to time

5. Nordic IQ is on the decline, and the impact of digitalization is coming soon enough to study!

In addition, there are special chapters on depression, bipolar depression, loneliness, and sleep disorders caused by mobile phones, reminding various negative effects. Since quitting is really hard, take a step back and find a way to fight the time-setting movement!

Even the most gentle walks can have clear positive benefits. What human beings need is sleep, exercise and real social interaction. Let’s challenge to reduce the use of mobile phones and avoid being controlled by technology!
