It is said that there is a widespread trend towards short, short videos that last a few seconds rather than long, long interviews or speeches that last a few minutes. This has been helped by applications such as TikTok, YouTube and the spread of the internet.
While people are focusing on short, time-saving things brought by modern technology, away from watching long videos, listening to long speeches, and flipping through multi-page books, there are benefits, but the disadvantages are not as simple as that, according to experts who have studied the subject.
A recent study found that people are creating an impatient and hasty generation by reducing their attention span to 47 seconds just by watching short videos.
Ato Tewodros Getye is an expert in human behavior. The expert says that people are psychologically influenced by short videos, and their lives are not focused on the process but only on the end result, and they always choose shortcuts for change.
The expert in human behavior says that watching short videos without limits reduces the ability to pay attention and understand things, reading long texts, causing boredom in performing tasks that are done slowly, and making it difficult to remember details easily. We said that it disrupts sleep and rest.
A recent study said that addiction to short videos is similar to the damage that alcohol addiction causes to the brain.
To reduce this harm, the expert advised setting daily screen time limits, choosing healthy and educational content, engaging in activities such as exercising, reading books, spending time with nature, and chatting with friends, and adopting healthy digital habits.
