Why We Should Rethink Watching Short Videos

Why We Should Rethink Watching Short Videos In today’s digital age, short videos have become an omnipresent form of entertainment. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts have made it easier than ever to consume bite-sized content. While short videos can be fun and engaging, there are several compelling reasons why we should reconsider how much time we spend watching them. 1. Impact on Attention Span Short videos, often lasting just 15-60 seconds, are designed to be quick, attention-grabbing, and addictive. The more we engage with this fast-paced content, the more we condition our brains to crave constant stimulation.

Questionable Encryption Choices Telegram does not use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by default for most chats. Instead, it relies on its proprietary MTProto encryption protocol, which has faced criticism from security experts for not being independently verified to the same extent as widely trusted encryption standards like Signal's protocols. For sensitive communications, this lack of default E2EE can leave chats vulnerable to interception. 2. Centralized Data Storage Telegram stores user data, including messages (unless encrypted in "Secret Chats"), on its servers. This centralized approach can make the platform an attractive target for hacker...

Can Happiness Be Generated on Its Own?

Happiness usually stems from external stimuli or internal cognitive and emotional responses. Although external conditions (such as success, social relationships, and entertainment activities) can bring happiness, happiness can also be generated by internal psychological mechanisms. For example, psychological practices such as meditation, mindfulness, positive thinking, and gratitude can help people feel happy without external stimuli. This shows that happiness can be generated by itself by consciously changing one's way of thinking and emotional regulation. --ChatGPT But for me personally, it is extremely difficult to achieve. I have tried meditation, but my mind is a mess. I am probably too impatient and too anxious. Alas!
