Can you stop scrolling from time to other and when you are with people and when you are in the work, as we are in front of a big problem that converted people to machine of scrolling and whatever you benefit or get useful information or not, you are just scrolling and watching short videos and I have found myself with this problem that someone got my attention to it.
When I was with my friends that we are out to have some fun and to talk and to discuss with each others and in the middle of the and in the middle of our gathering, I noticed everyone was holding their phones and we were sitting together but really we were with our phones not with each other and it ended up with no useful thing or any entertainment or communication.
In fact when I set with myself and I though that we have been slaves to smart phones and as a test when I was alone I left my phone for few minutes and look at it and I found that I feel like I am I realized I felt upset and uneasy, and that feeling only went away when I picked up my phone again. That’s when I understood I was at the start of an addiction not just casually scrolling to kill time or entertain myself.
So if it is like addiction and we could not get rid of this bad habit so I decide I need to cure and first thing that I have done when I was with some people or any work I leave my phone in my pocket and Do not open it even Sometimes I make it silent or in Airplane mode.
And I started to notice that this discomfort and the urge to scroll slowly decreased, especially after adding some alternatives like exercising or even watching football matches. The important thing is to break this bad habit of endless, unnecessary scrolling and I felt that I was in prison and I am freeing.
The only real winners in this are the social media platforms and content creators who make short videos and posts. Interestingly, they don’t scroll as much as we do they do their work and earn profits while you and I just waste our time. It reminds me of the saying: the cigarette maker doesn’t smoke, So it is time to free yourself from this habit and look for something useful to do.
