we need something bigger and bigger and. the size people find themselves drawn to seeking out or picking on news that's more and more horrible who from this was in the office feel. many studies have shown that people are more likely to click on say gone i mean it's an unpleasant stories about say a baby for months on you to measure baby have to think doesn't this flood of news make us feel helpless in the face of all the evil in the world was because it's yeah. there's some truth in that. but it depends on the individual and their specific circumstances. on the impact that news will have is very individual and varies according to the person's mental and emotional framework. the intensity the volume and density and overdramatize ation of its extreme quality the danger of scandal after scandal all of this can meld with or amplify a person's emotional and mental state in ways that can become very problematic in

that i can even take them over into a personal crisis as i'm insistent because some people it can become difficult to keep things straight to see what's what that's whether you're talking about all of refugee crisis or like now the coronavirus pandemic is that some people end up struggling with a sense that things are confusing careening out of control. that can result in an intense need to reassert control. and to a feeling of doing that the end of the world is just around the corner. that's how people end up drawn to conspiracy theories which offer a simple explanation for things in a confusing complex and maybe even inaccessible world complex a sense of time. to go from being bombarded with horrible news is a source of stress which isn't good for us just bad news make a sick. state and fed meeting boredom it depends on the individual and their own situation or mental state if a pet. and there isn't

a difficult or fragile condition in crisis then all sorts of bad news could under some circumstances serve as a trigger for the fire. make things worse but bad news just not in an office so of course illness. and inflows into social media is just flooded with conspiracy theories and strange ideas what influences the lonely people you mention but it's a very very big problem with one of my colleagues the social psychologist fellow talks about the hollywood isolation of emotion and feeling. we don't know anymore is this homeland or is this the realism you think it's very interesting on a matter level his observations mesh with what we're seeing in studies of children and teenagers what they're describing is very similar if you can also describe design or just before you could say things like it would be terrible if i actually saw something like this in real life so then they go ahead and share those horrible

pictures and videos on social media. only after being even includes things like child pornography sometimes. one study in particular struck me when the young people were asked why they shot this material they said i didn't think it was not about. me it's because it was virtual somehow not real even though 20 nowadays we get most of our daily news through our smart friends hugh know holders who just want to check the latest ports message and then you get hooked on your phone because you don't want to miss anything on facebook or twitter it's called or the fear of missing out a british study has shown that young people reach for their smartphones 85 times a day on average and stare at the screens for 5 in the long term overstimulation means stress so there's an easy solution just 3 just off right now. right now but what if i would miss something well

a smartphone break is not that easy. it never stops pinging and we can't stop looking at it. then and he is one of many who have trouble staying away from their smartphones. work so my flops all i use my smartphone basically around the clock i often look things up when i read something somewhere i research it immediately you know i'm on whatsapp a lot and i feel compelled to open each message right away. melanie's average daily smartphone use amounts to 3 hours most of it going to work or operating system tells her that on some days she's even been on for more than 4 and a half hours. that's time that her husband tivo would prefer not sharing with the phone or ringback another message she seems as if it really bothers me in certain

situations when we're sitting together in the evening and talking or about to watch a film or when i have something specific to tell her and she just plays with half and doesn't even look at me or tell but. yes that's true that bothers me. that has prompted melanie to try an experiment she wants to reduce her smartphone use for a week and her phone will help her do it melanie turns off her notification sounds and the vibration along so she won't check it at every pane. new messages won't be displayed with her screen is locked and she has set a time that for her phone use to have her usual time after that the operating system automatically blocks her apps for the rest of the day. and blocking them requires a pin and only melanie's husband gilo knows it. good

luck. with that i'm definitely nervous i'm a pretty moody person and i can imagine that i'll be in a bad mood at some point. while military tries to kick the habit we ask an expert windows phone use become too much concern and. in the psychology we have the phenomenon of fear of missing out code foam and for short. and that's something that not only young people experience many older people especially in work situations have the feeling that they're just running to catch up and when we get that feeling or sense that it's a source of stress that's the moment to say ok now we need to change our behavior. not everyone who is on their smartphone a lot should be considered an addict but long consumption does affect most users

especially their concentration. in this one study has shown that switching between multiple tasks can lead to a 15 point drop in our i.q. value that means that if a smartphone is sitting next to us distracting us it makes us dumber because we are worse at carrying out tasks. but smartphones have become part of our daily lives many people are constantly unreachable. is a life and business coach she offers or seminars. and she believes that people shouldn't feel that they have to be permanently on call. in my coaching sessions i try to show that there's another perspective a different way of seeing things the good people just are hard to reach that they can make their own rules regarding communication with clients such as i will answer your e-mails up to 5 pm or i'm not reachable by e-mail on tuesday. the idea is to get our smartphone. under control we have to become less dependent on other

people's expectations metal music spearmint has come to an end she spent a week with just half her usual smartphone consumption as it was i have to say i've really cut down i suddenly had more time for other things. just like that i'd never normally have done that at the baking isn't really my thing. that's true and i also noticed that she had far fewer direct reactions to incoming messages of i am good enough if. i really went over one hour at 1st it was the combination that it didn't vibrate so i didn't know what was coming in and. being that i knew that i only had a limited. and see that basically after a day i didn't really miss it and realize that i don't need it i don't always have to look at things that won't change anything it was good so i'd say we can leave the blocking in place. now melanie and want to put their experiment into daily

practice leisure time with the phone and more time with each other. he sort of how should we deal with the constant flood of news. we need to become more media savvy. and we have to learn to engage with the news and images we're exposed to in a more complex way. and. to fill. in some cases that might mean studying an issue in greater depth. so we want to also it's. in team and it's a quick glance and then you swipe swipe away to the next item that's not helpful. we have to do better with digital media we've. got a kid not your children and teenagers are constantly on social media how can they be taught to use it wisely yeah that's for him to do 1st of all that has to be taught in school as a proper so. jack tonight so i'm right i'm

a competence of i need to learn how to recognize fake news and fake images as well if you want to feel that we know a lot about fake photos from war reporting back home on to children and teenagers need to study the subject in school and in the law because that's and they need to learn how to tell the difference between what's real and what's not to defense you can be to vegas news on the media in general is created by people to they bear responsibility to their audience at the mention he does comes near them g.m. is here wolf i'm faulting this b.s. a very great responsibility on line one problem is that many online articles come with an estimate of how long it takes to raise them the shuffle so people squeezed in another altar call and 2 minutes before going into a doctor's appointment you know it's all rather upset and i'm afraid that shows how many reports are specifically crafted to be consumed quickly that's the response to the idea of studying something and death of a sponsor or actually reading books this is just today that seems ridiculously old

french and much more something you'd never actually do see. one bit of bad news i have to communicate to you is that the show's over for today so the good news will be back next week and when you ever you're in berlin be sure to visit the museum of communication because it's open again.
