Turning Off Your Screen Before Your Attention Span Disappears Entirely

You’ve officially consumed enough content for the moment, and hopefully, your brain hasn’t been completely pixelated by the experience. 👾📉 It’s a bit ironic that we use media to complain about media, but if we didn’t have the internet, how would we let everyone know we’re “going off the grid” for exactly forty-eight minutes? 🌲📵 The world is a lot noisier than it used to be, but at least we have a front-row seat to the global comedy show that is the nightly news and the comment section of literally any video. Just remember that behind every perfectly filtered photo and every dramatic headline is a human being who is also probably just looking for their charger. Now, go forth and enjoy the real world for a bit—just try not to look for a “like” button on the trees! ✌️😎🌳✨
