How to Geek:  What Is Doomscrolling?

10/21/2021

The internet is a great place—until it’s not. You can fall into a pit of depressing news and “hot takes.” Yet many people have a tendency to come back for more. That’s where “doomscrolling” or “doomsurfing” comes in.
​
You may have seen the term “doomscrolling” thrown around the internet. Essentially, doomscrolling is repeatedly doing something even though you know it has a negative effect on yourself. It’s bad for us, but we can’t stop.
More specifically, when people talk about doomscrolling, they’re referring to the habit of spending a lot of time looking at negative news headlines online. We know it’s not a good use of our time, but we keep doing it anyway. There’s a level of addiction involved.

Earlier this year, Reviews.org surveyed 1,000 Americans aged 18 and older to learn more about their behavior with their cell phones. The survey found that, on average, Americans check their phones 262 times per day.

It may seem as though our behavior around smartphones is as a result of our wiring, but actually, it's a little more thought-out than that — behind all the flashing and the beeping is something called "behavioral design".
"The success of an app is often measured by the extent to which it introduces a new habit," said app developer Peter Mezyk in an interview with Insider.

​Most tech companies collect data to create a better, more personalized experience for their customers and visitors. If you go to the terms and conditions page of nearly every website, you’ll find language explaining what information the company is collecting and for what purposes. However, most people don’t have the time or patience to read through all the legal fine print. 

Does Google collect your data? Yes. Google is no different about data collection than most other companies. Google may collect even more data than average. The company’s mission is to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” That’s an ambitious mission....

FOSI:  ​​The Tech Reset - Establishing New Family Rules after "Living" Online During the Pandemic

10/14/2021

Comments

 
Parents - we did it.  
We persevered through the last 18 months of every version of school imaginable and we juggled kids and teens at home while we worked and managed all other responsibilities. As many of our children have returned to school in person this year, we have an opportunity to reflect on the changes we made during the height of the pandemic period.  Rules, norms, and routines that had been part of our daily lives before COVID were disrupted and rearranged. Nowhere is that more apparent than with our technology use, rules and regulations.  
Many parents who had worked hard to establish technology norms for their household found those completely upended by their child’s need to be online all day to attend classes, complete homework, and socialize with peers or family members.  Parents of younger children who had not yet begun to establish norms were thrust into the world of technology so that their children could access their education, be entertained, or be connected with the outside world.  Many of us are left wondering, is it possible to return to our previous practices or make changes to reverse this increase in technology use in our daily lives? ...

Today's Parents:  Kids are sleep deprived and it's affecting their development

10/13/2021

Sleep Deprivation and Child Development

When he didn’t get enough sleep, five-year-old Jack* wasn’t himself in the morning. He was a cat. He would crawl around on the floor and answer his parents with meows. “That’s how we knew he was really tired,” says his mom, Rachel Torres.*

Bedtime was supposed to be 8 p.m. in their house, but Jack and his four-year-old sister, Isla, had a way of dragging things out. The pair would go to the bathroom or escape downstairs, so Rachel or her husband, Marco, would eventually lie down with them until they fell asleep, sometimes as late as 9:30 p.m. Often they would wake up in the night, calling out for their parents or crawling into bed with them. Some mornings, 
the kids would wake up as early as 5:30 a.m. because they needed to go to the bathroom or were just too restless to sleep anymore...
