who's really addicting you to Technology?
A."Nearly everyone i know is addicted in some measure to the internet, "wrote tony
Schwartz in The New York Times. it's a common complaint these days. A steady stream
of similar headlines accuse the net and its offspring apps, social media sites and
online games of addicting us to distraction
B. There's little doubt that nearly everyone who comes in contact with the net has
difficulty concentration than it takes to post a status update. as one person
ironically put it in the comments section of Schwartz's online article, "As I was
reading this very excellent article.I stopped at least half a dozen times to cheek
my email.
C.There's something different about this technology: it is both invasive and
persuasive. but who's at fault for its overuse? To find solutions, it's important
to understand what we’re dealing with.There are four parties conspiring to keep
you connected the tech, your boss, your friends and you.
D.The technologies themselves and their makers, are the easiest suspects to blame
for our diminishing attention spans. Nicholas Carr,author of The Shallows: what
the internet is doing Our brains, wrote, The net is designed to be an interruption
system, a machine geared to dividing attention.
E.Online services like Facebook, twitter and the like, are called out of
manipula-tion--making,products so good that people can't stop using them. after
studying these products for several years, I wrote a book about how they do it. I
learned it all starts with the business model. since these services rely on
advertising revenue, The more frequently you use money they make.It’s no winder
these companies employ teams of people focused on engineering their services to be
as engaging as possible. these products aren't habit-forming by chance; it's by
design. they have an incentive to keep us hooked.
F.However, as good as these services are, there are simple steps we can take to keep
them at bay.For example, we can change how often we receive the distracting
notifications that trigger our urge to check.According to adam marchick, ceo of
mobile marketing company kahuna, less than 15 percent of smartphone users ever bother
to adjust their notification setlings--meaning the remaining 85 percent of us
default to the app makers' every preset trigger.Google and Apple have made it far
too difficult to adjust these settings so it's up to us to take steps ensure we set
these triggers to suit our own needs, not the needs of the app makers.
G.While companies like Facebook harvest attention to generate revenue from
advertisers, other technologies have no such agenda. take email, for example. this
system couldn't care less how often you use it. Yet to many, email is the most
habit-forming medium of all.We check email at all hours of the day--we're obsessed,
but why? Because that's what the boss wants.For almost all white-collar jobs, A slow
Response to a message could
hurt not only your reputation but also your livelihood.
