The Distracting Power of Apps
Apps on our phones, such as games, news feeds, and social media platforms, are designed to be highly distracting. Whether it's games that release dopamine to keep us playing, news feeds constantly updating with new stories, or social media platforms luring us in with their algorithms, these forces of distraction are powerful. However, it is important to recognize that the apps themselves are not to blame. It is our own choices and actions that give them control over us.
