In a world where attention spans continue to shrink
We are increasingly watching short videos that end in a blink
You can scroll through multiple videos in a short duration
Barely registering the message while trying to focus on the animation
When you are bored and have nothing to do
Multiple social media videos you go through
In an effort to keep yourself entertained
Sometimes it’s pure fun, sometimes there’s inspiration to be gained
*
It should come as no surprise that research has found
Watching online videos increases boredom, not the other way around
The more your attention span shifts from one video to the next
The more your mind has to keep switching context
You enjoy nothing, and learn little that is new
End up staying uninspired and bored too
*
Watch a longer video, find something immersivec
To which undivided attention you can give
You would not be bored, you would not once feel
That you are missing out on an instagram reel
Passion...unbridled
