‘TikTok brain’ may be coming for your kid’s attention span::Emerging research suggests that TikTok’s rapid-fire short videos are affecting the attention spans of its younger users, making it harder for them to engage in activities that require more sustained attention.
You know what I did before the internet? Be bored. A lot. It was fucking boring. It was unbearably dull. If people want to fill their lives with tiktok when they are waiting at a bus stop instead of just staring into nothing, more power to them.
I used to watch boring, crap fucking TV just because there was four TV channels and it was raining outside. Already read all my books twice over. Awful.
Alright, doesn’t mean it didn’t lower your attention span. Just that you’re less bored :D
