Description:
This project will be an infographic on doomscrolling, its effects on the brain, its overall effects on peoples’ lives, and its effects on society as a whole. Doomscrolling has become a rather serious problem, not just in terms of the negative impact on people, but also in terms of wasted time. It does have some merit for the purposes of entertainment and distributing information, however even then the information may be slightly inaccurate or straight up false. It will offer alternatives to doomscrolling, considering the reasons people do it, what they get from it, and how to provide other sources for the same things.
