Phone Addiction

Your own phone is your enemy!

Your own phone can be the best thing you have or be the biggest distraction you holding on your hand.

Unfortunately, the way our brain processes information is backwards. For example, if you reject an advertisement today, often you will continue to see it later on. What is the most effective approach to market ads? Using Phones(THE DRUG)!

It's challenging to reverse what you just saw on your phone, but after seeing it multiple times, your "perception" of it becomes less negative. Before you realize it, you've become another consumer of the information and guess who is in charge? "Your Phone"

Think about and Analyse how much of your everyday activities are influenced by the amount of time you spend on your phone ("Ads, videos, or blog post"). Your daily activities determine how much you need of it, and over time, that need will either grow or decrease. A phone is a Drug!

Think Loud

A phone is like a narcotic; before you realize it, you're "addicted to it," obsessed with the latest developments, and "switching from one application to another." And I wonder if those who make money from it are any different from those who struggle with addiction?
