Don't let social networks ruin ourselves.
On the occasion of the release of the iPad, the New York Times reporter and Jobs had a telephone interview. After Joe’s help over the iPad’s features, the reporter routinely raised such a question before the reporter hangs up the phone:
"Since the iPad is so good, then your son must like it?"
I did not expect Joe's answer to the answer: No, our family has strict electronic product control time.
Why do people who make social networking products limit their usage time?
Social networks make depressed people more depressed.
Intuitive, ask you a question, brush a circle of friends, and then scan a round of subscription numbers, how do you feel? I believe that few people will say that they are happy.
Every time I brushed my circle of friends and the subscription number, I first felt the deep malice of this society, and then I was bored to say that my 1 hour was not as good as feeding the dog.
The experiment found that the use of social networks is positively related to people's negative emotions.
This may be because people who are depressed if they see the "performance" of the circle of friends on social networks, they are more likely to make an up-and-coming comparison: "Why is someone else's life full of coffee travel and boyfriend and I am so miserable?" This leads to a deterioration of emotions.
Social networks make lonely people more lonely.
Imagine that your mobile phone has not been powered for 3 hours, rushing to borrow the charging treasure, opening WeChat, brushing the screen up and down, but only seeing someone on the working group @你, the small heart will not instantly fall off Into the deep well ice?
Studies have shown that too much socialization will make people more lonely.
This is because most of the circle of friends is weak, and then they can't escape the “lonely carnival” of the group. The contact with them means that the deep communication with friends and family is reduced.
The real strong relationship often does not need to use social networks: "You have 10,000 ways to contact him, and he has 10,000 ways to contact you."
Social networks make people who know low beliefs stupid.
You spend all your time cleaning up the little red dots on WeChat. You are hungry to open a list of subscriptions every 30 minutes. The information loss anxiety disorder (FOMO) is alleviated, but you use it in every article. At the time of understanding, it was also stunned by the cat.
This is a conclusion based on life observations. The phone screen is so small, and the WeChat article is so long.
Most people passively accept the view of the big V on the social network, the interpretation of the famous, which is called the low-confidence believer among the information acquirers. They do not distinguish between the purpose of obtaining information and regard the information published by the authority and the big V as the correct information without any self-digestion.
Conversely, those who have high awareness of conviction will take the initiative to obtain the information they need, and in the process of reading, verify their good or bad by reasoning and judgment.
Don't let social information kill you. In the deep pool of information, you need to regain your choice.
85 experimenters, choose to leave WeChat for 15 days.
In 1999, a "72-hour network survival test" brought 12 participants from Beishangguang to a place where there was only one computer with Internet access and an Internet phone line. After 3 days, everyone was hungry. The front chest is attached to the back.
In 2017, 85 participants were invited by Tencent Research Institute to conduct a 15-day social fast, compressing the daily WeChat usage time to 30 minutes or less for 15 consecutive days.
Some of the participants felt embarrassed and embarrassed, and others felt that "there was a bang, the world was quiet."
The Institute used both the Maston's Positive and Negative Emotional Scale, Diener's Life Satisfaction Scale, Jessor's General Alienation Scale, and the simplified Utrecht Worksheet to conduct qualitative and quantitative research. Formed a 175-page paper report.
At the end of the report, there was such a passage that made people think for a long time:
"The designer of WeChat is not God,
What really determines a piece of software is a real, fresh, specific individual.
Similarly, the owner of the "double-edged sword" that polished the software is not someone else.
It is hurt and love, and it is up to each of us to decide for ourselves. ” Why does Tencent’s internal research institute support this bold and highly reflective experiment?
85 experimenters left WeChat for 15 days. What did they harvest? What have you lost? What are the specific effects of social networks on people's happiness, social interaction and work commitment?
On the wave, how can we not let social networks ruin ourselves and the next generation?
This is closely related to each of us.
