The Demolishment of Attention Span

Summary

• The youth nowadays can never in a million years imagine how life was like a few decades ago for their grandparents who spent their entire lifetime without social media.
• This neglectful nature is what social media helps develop, which is increasingly rising in children below the ages of 13 resulting in their brains never developing properly.
•   Governments around the world are slowly banning and restricting social media for children under the ages of 16 in hope to reduce the exploitation they face especially the ones without parents supervision, However it seems that this ban is placed far too late and due to new AI technology and social media addiction, under 16 teenagers would easily get past this law and use it anyways through other means.

AI Generated Summary

The youth nowadays can never in a million years imagine how life was like a few decades ago for their grandparents who spent their entire lifetime without social media. They cannot comprehend or visualize how free time was spent in the old days, how connections were built or how people stayed in contact with each other. Always having a phone in hand and looking at the world from a small screen has definitely resulted in continuous dopamine spikes and loss of attention span.
