Social Media is stealing our attention
Topic: Social Media platforms are designed to keep users engaged and scrolling, which takes up too much of their valuable time and attention.
Message: Social media should be designed for communication, updates, and human connection, rather than an attention thief.
Hook: Something along the lines of “Went to check the time; that was five hours ago.” (maybe?)
(that would be slide 1)
Slide two talks about why this happens: there is always more scrolling, endless videos, pictures, etc that all take your attention.
Slide three talks about why this is harmful: why is our attention being taken from us a bad thing? Why is social media training our brains to have a short-term attention span?
Slide four talks about slide three, but more in depth: what does this take away from our lives?
Slide five: humane design choices to stop this attention stealing. some ideas could be things like screen time blockers, notifications only when they’re necessary, no autoplay, break reminders, more screen time settings, etc.
