A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?
It’s not difficult if you’re on newer versions of iOS and Android. It’s easy to customise notifications or turn them off altogether. If you’re less techy, then it’s more difficult.
The problem is the apps assuming they can send you tons of notifications by default. Plus some apps keep adding new notifications types and assume that people are interested in them (for example shopping apps starting to suggest random products or Instagram advertising the creator’s broadcast channels).
It’s good we’re highlighting the mental burden of constant notifications as some people are not aware of it.
For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It’s such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There’s just that extra something in that movie...
I’m not a big Vampire Weekend fan, but when I put this album on in 2019, the weird out of sync acoustic diddy intro with the choir hit me right in the feels and I was hooked....
I just finished the finale - really enjoyed it but there’s one thing that slightly bugs me about the end.
questionWhy are the bodies not visble in the “beautiful world” AR feed? Surely this would be an immediate giveaway to both Holston and Juliette that what they’re seeing is not real as they both have seen the bodies on the screen and would want to find them quickly? Is it just all relying on the ‘shock’ of seeing the green world that makes them not think about it?
I'm 32, I remember using the internet before google was a thing, discovering flashy websites, hanging out on all kinds of internet forums and chatrooms, ebaums world, MySpace, new grounds... I rember when YouTube was just starting off and it was exploding with all kinds of content....
I have to say it does feel pretty cool and like the good old days. No big corporations at the moment, just people figuring stuff out and doing their own thing. I'm liking this a lot
