What I Learn?

Technology is controlling us. Many apps are able to get our attention. This happens everywhere and it's a race to get the most attention to people. It talks about how most companies are out to figure out what is on your mind. They targeted to people that could easily get attention. This needs to change. They need to start controlling how long people stay on any kind of technology. Tech companies should start figuring out how to stop worrying about how to attract but rather how to control how long people stay on it.

What I Think?

I agree that technology has been worrying about only how to get attention. It needs to change... it sucks that most people who uses YouTube... have been getting burnouts because of having to keep up with the new things that YouTube keeps having... meaning more attention... instead of more about the person and their love on what they do. This video should be worth a listen because people are limited their time in the real world and more on the technology that you use everyday... I try my best not to stay on a certain page because of how important my health is right now. It can be hard but it can happen.
