So, my Auntie was in town for funeral and she decided to stay a week since she was also on leave from her Job. After supper one evening, I came into my room, switched on my laptop and decided to do some research on how to improve my photography skills. She knocked and entered the room an hour later to see me glued to the screen watching tutorials on YouTube. It pissed her off and here is why. She is old school and believes my generation are losing sight of what’s relevant. She told me to stop wasting time on the internet and start paying full attention to my course of study at the university. To be frank with you all, I hate my course mainly because of how it is taught to us but I didn’t say it to her. In fact I didn’t say a word as she started to rattle on and on about how addictive these advancements can be. To a degree, I believed what she said.
It is said that one becomes less content with whatever amount they take in. Say, it’s an abusive drug and you used to take a handful every day. Over time, as the dopamine activities increases, one becomes less interested in the regular amounts because the brain adapts to the the level of excitement. Thus, to have that ticking effect again, one must increase the dosage.
I’m no health expect and the above information this blog provides is totally based on my understanding from google and Wikipedia exploration. Criticisms are therefore welcome only if necessary.
