Sometimes when I want to relax, I will browse some websites unrelated to my profession.
Today, I suddenly felt that it was very difficult for me to read a lot of news and watch videos.
I found that I need to use a "reverse brain-burning" state to judge information, where reverse means to always stay alert because what the author says is not important, what's important is what they didn't say.
Maybe we are really accelerating into "Amusing Ourselves to Death".
Publishing, printing, photography, television have led us into a world similar to playing hide and seek, with no continuity, meaningless, but endless fun.
The internet directly pulls people into an ivory tower.
Everyone builds their own ivory tower online, but if you want to continue living in it, problems arise.
With these, one can actually create a context artificially, with no connection to the audience, but experts can use various methods to make their heart race, lean forward and back, and shed tears. Deliberately selecting controversial topics, giving the audience enough to talk about, everyone can express their opinions, and if they can argue, even better, the director wishes everyone could fight. But just like the male and female guests matched by "If You Are the One", who will care about them after they leave the stage?
In TV shows, as long as the host says, "Okay, now...", it means it's time to change the topic.
The time it takes to say these three words is the time one can use to think while watching TV.
Short videos directly eliminate this time.
And my profession, still being in this industry as a creator, is quite ironic.
