"So you know we've all had it or you're feeling a little bit down or feeling a bit lonely and so you send out ten texts to ten friends you know hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, because it feels good when you get a response right right it's why we count the likes it's why we go back ten times to see if and if it's going if our my Instagram is growing slower I would do something wrong do they not like me any more right the trauma for young kids to be unfriended right because we know when you get it you get a hit a dopamine which feels good it's why we like it it's why we keep going back to it dopamine is the exact same chemical that makes us feel good when we smoke when we drink and when we gamble in other words it's highly addictive"
In this message Simon said how phones are addictive to our young generation because the dopamine that is in our bodies drags us towards it, just like drugs and alcohol or anything else you cannot resist phones do the same thing and the urge to check how much followers or likes you get on social media makes you happy, and for younger generations, just texting friends and getting a response can fulfil a child sadness. Whenever you get in a bad mood the first thing you would want to do is either go on your phone or do something that is addictive towards you.
Simon, Explained to us why you shouldn't be charging your phone next to you whilst in your bedroom and whilst your sleeping, he said because its the temptation of it thats controlling us, if you leave your phone in the living room whilst it charges while you sleep you won't just walk up and go towards it, which removes the temptation. If you left your phone next to you whilst sleeping it will give you temptation to just go on it, keeping it in your room is like an addiction and if you remove that addiction life becomes easier to control.
Hi Kaedun, I really like your blog post about Millennial's in a Workplace. I really like how you went in-depth talking about it. I really liked how you summarised the text very well. Maybe next time you should add a critical literacy question. Overall you did an amazing job and keep up the good work.
