‘TikTok brain’ may be coming for your kid’s attention span::Emerging research suggests that TikTok’s rapid-fire short videos are affecting the attention spans of its younger users, making it harder for them to engage in activities that require more sustained attention.
Are you suggesting that anything about the internet hasn’t reduced attention spans?
Especially as it’s becoming more accessible and common for younger people to get more exposure during key points in brain development.
It goes beyond simple accessibility and engagement, if young people are not participating in these social medias it can become harder to connect with your peers - so you’re almost socially punished for not embracing and participating in brain rot (all social media, not just Tik Tok).
No. I’m saying that this is rage bait and been said about everything from rock music to pokemon.
I didn’t click on any of the white papers linked inside the news article either, who knows what those Chinese university students put it there…
