It's kind of the junk food or cigarettes equivalent for our brain (previously was TV but now it's back more addictive than ever)
We will probably look back at this period with the same sense of disgust at ourselves and at companies as we do now when we look back at the tobacco and junk food craze.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoIs the junk food craze over?
- j7ake 9y agoNo but the tobacco craze is not over either. I think the difference is now there are heavy regulations in both industries (advertising to children, warning labels, dietary information) but analogous regulations have not yet been implemented in the eyeballs on screen industry.
- michaelchisari 9y agoIn LA, there's plenty of people who are vegan, non-smoking yoga instructors who are glued to their phones. It isn't yet an accepted idea that these things are addicting and bad for you, unlike junk food and tobacco.
