The Internet and the "Chaos" of Information

The internet has further exacerbated the problem of declining attention spans by creating a "hostile design environment" that constantly bombards us with information and demands our attention.

This "hostile environment" is evident in the design of platforms like YouTube and TikTok, which encourage constant engagement and distraction, making it difficult to focus on any one thing for an extended period. This constant stimulation rewires our brains, making us less capable of deep thought and reflection.
