I have been trying my best not to tap on my phone as often as I could, but I failed. The only social media I have now is Facebook. I am drawn to the short video column and find myself scrolling endlessly for 20 to 30 minutes. I tried to put my phone down. Somehow my hand absentmindedly grabs the phone and start scrolling away.
I did try to focus on watching on Netflix, not even 5 minutes into the show, my phone was already in my hand, eyes on the phone, and paying no attention to the background voice from the show talking away itself. Thank god I am no longer active in Instagram and X anymore.
Even my monthly Youtube premium subscription can't convince me to stay any longer than 5 minutes on the screen. That being said, I have been watching a lot of educational and general knowledge documentaries, mainly from TED-EDU where they story-tell in mere 3 minutes length of duration with funny and interesting animation. Amazing how a short video can convey so much knowledges with simple understanding terms and animation. This is exactly how short our attention life span is. Everything has to be short and grab our attention as soon as we lay our eyes on.
On the other note, there will be a big book sales carnival in town in coming 2 weeks. I tried to buy a book from bookstore but the price is too ridiculous for me. RM79.90 ? Seriously? I am gonna wait for the year end book sales carnival, I can get less than RM20 for the same title. I need to pick up reading back. I feel like I am getting more and more stupid by each passing day.
