The Gray Area with Sean Illing
Effects of Video on Listening and Concentration
Video calls can disrupt listening and concentration due to digitally altered and adjusted images which lead to artifacts like blocking and blurriness, causing the brain to be slightly scrambled. These disruptions, while below consciousness, strain the brain to make sense of the digital disorder and can result in feelings of uneasiness and Zoom fatigue. Video calls also interfere with natural eye contact and facial mimicry between individuals, as details may be blurred out due to bandwidth limitations. Moreover, the self-consciousness and distractions caused by observing one's own appearance or background in the video further hinder meaningful conversations. Eliminating video in conversations creates a more intimate and distraction-free environment, enhancing the ability of both parties to concentrate and actively listen to each other.
