Reading the Binge Breaker reinforced all of my previous thoughts about technology and its impact on our lives. Although some people feel as thought they are not addicted to technology, I think that many people are without even knowing it. I totally agree that apps and many different forms of media are engineered and meant to increase the amount of time spent on then. Obviously this makes sense because by spending more time on an app or certain media, the app or media benefits greatly and in turn becomes more popular and relevant. Apps and media become obsolete when people do not spend any time on them, and because of this people are forced to figure out ways to attract users to the app or media not just every now and then, but multiple times a day. In most cases when it comes to media, there is a competitiveness that keeps people coming back. In an app that competitiveness comes out when trying to beat a level or get the most points. In forms of social media that competitiveness comes out when trying to post pictures that people will like and by making your life look more entertaining than it actually is. By doing this, people gain more followers and more likes and therefore they feel a lot better about themselves. I think that it is important for people to realize that many forms of media are meant to be addicting, and once people accept that I feel like they will be better able to control themselves and prioritize their lives in a healthier way.
