I’ve always wondered why us teens have a low attention span, it is something that i’m sure not a lot of people are uninformed about. We can  only listen to someone talk for about 5 minutes before we completely lose interest, sometimes we act like we are  listening but the truth is, we’re not. Researchers  say that this is because of increased time on social media, and as much as i wanna  say this isn’t  true, i agree with them. Honestly, i think the people who  made TikTok  are geniuses they made  a platform like Instagram and You-tube combined that keeps  us totally sucked in, there’s no buffer in between videos and each video is completely different.  Your “for you page” is customized with the type of video that  you like, this is why we’re so hooked. We go from TikTok, to school, where we can’t have our phones at all, so it’s not a  shocker that we can barely pay attention. We stay up all night watching TikTok,we  watch TikTok whenever we  get a chance to at school and it’s the  first thing we do when we get home. This is the problem, TikTok is the problem.  In  addition to this I’m sure you’ve heard about them collecting “too much data” from our phones, they somehow can obtain our location,  S.M.S messages,and other private data.  Doesn’t really surprise  me, but it is  creepy for sure. We need to start living in the real world, not in our phones.
