Occasionally, when I want to relax for a while, I will browse some websites unrelated to my profession.
Today, I suddenly felt that it was very difficult for me when I was reading a lot of news and watching videos.
I found that I need to use a "reverse brain-burning" state to judge information, where reverse means to always stay alert because what the author says is not important, what's important is what they didn't say.
Maybe we are really accelerating into "Amusing Ourselves to Death".
Publishing, printing, photography, television, they have led us into a world similar to playing hide and seek, with no continuity, meaningless, but endless fun.
The internet directly pulls people into an ivory tower.
Everyone builds their own ivory tower online, but if you want to continue living in it, problems arise.
With all this, one can actually create context artificially, with no real connection to the audience, but experts can use various techniques to make their hearts race, lean forward and backward, and shed tears. Deliberately choosing controversial topics, giving the audience enough to talk about, everyone can express their opinions, and if they can argue, even better, directors would love for everyone to fight. But just like the male and female guests matched on "If You Are the One", who cares about them after they leave the stage?
In TV shows, as soon as the host says, "Okay, now...", it means it's time to change the topic.
The time it takes to say these three words is the time for thinking while watching TV.
Short videos directly eliminate this time.
And my profession, still being in this industry as a creator, is quite ironic.
