Addiction is comparable to "pornography, gambling and drugs": excessive addiction to short videos will eventually lead to destruction

The times are constantly advancing, science and technology are developing at a rapid pace, and a large number of high-tech products are emerging one after another, adding luster to life.

As a highlight of this century, smartphones have incomparable advantages: fast and convenient, saving time and effort, rich in entertainment, and directly pushing humans to a new level.

But technology is a double-edged sword. While it enriches entertainment activities, it also brings various disadvantages.

The bright smartphone has been on the altar since its debut.

But the glory will always fade. After it has spread to thousands of households, night falls as scheduled.

The darkness hidden behind the laughter surfaced and exposed its fangs, eating away at people's remaining weak resistance.

Smartphones have eliminated the older phones that could only make calls in the past, and have appeared in everyone's hands as a matter of course.

According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of 2020, the number of mobile Internet users in our country is nearly 1 billion, including 260 million people over 50 years old and 160 million people over 20 years old.

Keeping up with the times is no longer the prerogative of young people. Older people keep up with trends and are also fond of smartphones.

Lack of control and self-control for any new thing will have far-reaching consequences.

A set of shocking data shows that Chinese people spend nearly 6 hours a day playing with their mobile phones, and those born after 1995 spend as much as 8.33 hours. Accounting for one-third of the day, which is the same length as standard sleep time (or even much longer than sleep), everyone’s Internet addiction is evident.

People play with their mobile phones while walking, stare at their mobile phones while eating, and stay with them during gatherings of all sizes, just like a big boss with a busy business.

If mobile phones are so fascinating, where exactly is the time being spent?

Data shows: In March 2019, 36.6% of users’ total monthly usage time was spent on short videos, that is, more than 3 hours were spent on short videos.

Comprehensive information and instant messaging ranked second, taking nearly 44 minutes and 40 minutes respectively.

(It is worth noting that the above table does not count the proportion of games.)

According to the table, it can be seen that short videos are the most popular among men, women, old and young. As a new traffic outlet, it attracts a large number of young people to join, and even the elderly cannot refuse.

The two giants known as “Douyin in the south and Kuaishou in the north” account for nearly 90% of the total short video field, becoming the Ivy League among mobile apps.

At first, short videos were only used as a way to share daily life, but they have gradually been monetized. A large number of live broadcasts and sales have occupied the homepage, and all kinds of marginal content have poured in, repeatedly impacting the imperfect values ????of the public.

Spending your mind will eventually turn into a "fool"

"Emptying" the body is not much to say: from opening the icon to exiting, when there is no need to disturb, either A moment or two hours, no exceptions.

Short videos are extremely addictive. I wanted to watch them for a few minutes before going to bed, but before I knew it, the sun came up. As a result, I was out of shape at work the next day, yawning with panda eyes and crying.

All kinds of vulgar and emotional content disturbs the heart, and it is easy to feel empty and unable to extricate oneself.

I have a deep understanding that what seems like five minutes is actually two hours, a perfect reflection of Einstein’s theory of relativity. I know my self-control very well, so I never install short videos on my phone.

Moderate relaxation is beneficial, but excessive indulgence is destructive. The cost is not only physical decline, but also loss of the ability to think deeply.

If we can obtain real valuable information through sharing, it is still acceptable. But the fact is contrary to the fact that many people not only waste their energy, but also lose all their wealth.

Short videos harvest traffic and time first, and then harvest IQ after you relax your vigilance.

The vicious cycle has always affected those who eat melons and those who watch. Starting from Lu Xun's "Human Blood Steamed Buns", the situation has not changed for a moment.

Young people give rewards, and old people buy goods

Good-looking anchors, talented anchors, game anchors, teaching anchors, you sing and I go on stage, and each wave gets higher than the next. .

Relying on the coquettish appearance, playful and mischievous jokes, eye-addicting techniques, and flashy tutorials, you can easily take away the money in your pocket and make you willing to buy gifts.

Judging from the unblinking energy of young people, the brainwashing power of major anchors is no less than that of MLM leaders.

The anchor shows off his talent, and fans voluntarily pay the bill. It seems that "one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer", but in fact it exposes the fact of lack of control and ineffective supervision.

Except for rich people who are not short of money, those who are willing to exchange gifts are mostly otakus who pretend to be fat, or minors who are extremely lacking in discipline.

The former has a simple mind. Even if he can’t afford the rent by eating instant noodles, he still wants to reward his beloved female anchor.

"I don't care, I just like her, and no one can stop me."

"I feel that I am her protective umbrella, and she is willing to call me husband."

"I don't give much, just to make friends."

The latter is even worse: for example, an 11-year-old girl in Shenzhen used her parents' money from selling their house to reward nearly 200 yuan. Ten thousand; a 16-year-old boy from Jiangsu stole his parents’ medical treatment money and rewarded a female anchor 400,000; what’s more, in order to prevent platform restrictions, the anchor taught minors to transfer money “in batches”.

Today you can destroy your parents’ hard-earned money without blinking an eye, and tomorrow you can sell your kidney for a few thousand dollars on an iPhone.

Making profits under the guise of reducing stress and burdens induces minors to consume in advance and form a sense of comparison. In order to buy luxury goods, he took various loans and overdrafts on credit cards. At best, he became a deadbeat, and at worst, he was deeply involved in online loans and almost died.

In this regard, short videos play a big role in promoting this.

But it is still not worth advocating. We should be cautious when facing uninformed rhetoric.

As the last stubborn of short video, trying to reap another wave of terminal dividends, online shopping gave them a choice, so anchors big and small rushed to show up and bring goods.

In the past, big bosses Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun sold their faces many times. Later, well-known anchors Wei Ya and Li Jiaqi were firmly at the forefront. From luxury goods to agricultural and sideline products, there is a dazzling array of products.

Including the above, bringing goods is just to make more money. Once greed is amplified, it is easy to go astray and become a shady businessman.

For example, fake bird's nests and fake gold are emerging one after another, live broadcast rooms are suspected of malicious fraud, live broadcast sales data are suspected of water injection, etc...

The real-time nature of live broadcast sales can easily cause Stimulating impulse consumption, interaction can easily aggravate consumers' herd mentality in following the trend of shopping.

In an irrational state, the elderly can easily believe the anchor’s product efficacy promotion and ultra-low price promise, and fall into the live broadcast sales routine.

Therefore, you must carefully screen advertisements and not be misled by obviously low-priced product promotions. Before placing an order, you should clearly understand the source, function, quality, effect and price of the products recommended by the anchor.

Understand the true information about the product and prevent being deceived.

The status of short videos in your heart directly determines the level of the video.

Should you treat it like a treasure and stay close to it, watch it moderately as a way of entertainment, or resign yourself to the cold palace and ignore it?

As a way of receiving information, it allows us to better understand the world; at the same time, it gradually wears away our will and makes us lose the ability to think independently.

Time is limited and fixed. If one party takes up too much, the other party will have to use less.

Short videos are not scary, but being unable to stop short videos is deeply devastating.
