If every second wasted on tiktok was directly subtracted from your lifespan, that'd explain for me why so many people are addicted still to this day

let's do the exercise first and see what all it does on its (it's?) own shall we

and yes by exercise I also mean beginner pole class. I hope I wasn't mean to the teacher. I don't think I was. Maybe the only person / one of the only people I have never been mean to.

I need chocolate because I can't vape.. (my heartrate might still be too fast in the morning if I do.!)

Have you experienced Phantom Vibration Syndrome? If so, we'd love to hear from you! Phantom vibration syndrome is also known by many other terms, including phantom ringing, hypovibrochondria, ringxiety and fauxcellarm. Psychologists believe it depicts our deep connection with our phone. No worries though, it's far from any pathological hallucination! In fact, it is our perceptual system trying its best in an uncertain and noisy world.

what’s a phone?

Phone addiction is real, like super real. According to Addiction Centre, “there are over 3.8 billion smartphone users in the world and of those billions, 427% receive more messages and notifications than they did a decade ago” (Gomez, S, Smith-Slade, D, Dr. Bhatt, A, 2022). Unfortunately, the little boxes of light we hold in our hands are designed to be addictive since they can make life easier by making information being so accessible. These little boxes have now been proven that they are altering our brain. “When we read digital media, the cluttered landscape of links and ads and the short bursts of attention that are required by scrolling and swiping, and tweeting result in a contradiction in terms: an intensely focused state of distraction” (Karanasiewicz, S 2022). This explains how after TikTok was created, no one could focus on anything for more than 30 second periods without getting distracted or bored.

Speaking of content, “TikTok also appears to be faster than any other platform at detecting interest” (Paul, K 2022) which only entices the addiction. “The app provides an endless stream of emotional nudges, which can be hard to recognize and really impact users in the long run,” Faddoul said. “It’s not going to make anyone depressed overnight, but hours of consumption every day can have a serious impact on your mental health” (Paul, K 2022).

TikTok is constantly walking on a fine line between raising awareness and bringing up past trauma. “These concerns are particularly pronounced in the realm of ADHD content, where users have reported being diagnosed by medical professionals after seeing videos about their symptoms” (Paul, K 2022). The type of realm that TikTok is offering if not taken lightly can be extremely damaging. It creates a replacement for social interaction and is something that can be super detrimental to the younger generations that are growing into this fixation. Especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, also coinsidently when TikTok became most popular with a 180% download growth (Ceci, L 2022), people were forced into their homes with little to no social interaction. There’s been so much recent controversy surrounding the app that entrepreneur Mathias Döpfner says that “TikTok should be banned in every democracy” and argues that “democratic nations are naïve and dangerous to allow TikTok to operate” (Barrabi, T 2022).

With TikTok on the rise and other platforms trying to catch up to its popularity level, it may be worth revaluating how much it truly needs to be on our home screens…

Me and My Phone

I personally feel like my social life is very centered around my phone because I have grown up with this being the most convenient and common way to communicate with other people born in Gen Z. I think that having my phone has affected the ability for me to be present in face-to-face interactions when hanging out with my friends in person, this is true with other people in this digital age proven by MIT professor Sherry Turkle in her book Reclaiming Conversations. This is because when my phone is nearby, I always check it and scroll through it or use it to talk about different topics.  

And I know that many times people will not go out because they will be caught up scrolling through their phones. And I know that this has happened to everyone so don't pretend it hasn't. Texting and sending friends stuff on their phones is very convenient for people in Gen Z and many times the convivence of this eliminates the need or want to hang out and see each other face to face. This was enhanced by Covid-19 and the fact that most members of Gen Z were the age that would typically go out and see friends a lot, but due to this pandemic they were forced to stay inside and communicate only via phone leading to this being seen as the norm as discussed by Jori Hamilton in her blog How The Coronavirus is Impacting Generation Z | Voices of Youth
