Discussion:
In this lecture, we discussed the amount of time we spend using digital media since its emergence. A study conducted in 2020 stated that we spend about 8 hours a day viewing digital content. I believe this to be very true in my own life as I spend almost all day on some sort of electronic device. Whether it’s for school or for pleasure, I am always on my phone or computer. I’m watching TikToks, scrolling on Instagram, doing homework, but it all resorts to me viewing digital content. I think everyone can use a little less screen time and focus more on what’s in front of you at the moment. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our digital lives that we forget how to function in our real ones, which is the case for many youths today. They are introduced to digital media at a very young age nowadays, and learn how to be active online first rather than in person. We could be spending this time being in the moment with friends and family, or picking up a hobby, or even getting our much needed 8+ hours of sleep every night. I often find myself scrolling through TikTok until 2am every night which has messed up my sleeping schedule for years. Digital content has its advantages, but that doesn’t come without the bad and the ugly of being glued to your screen all day every day.
