The rise of short-form platforms such as Douyin has raised concerns about the brain's cognitive abilities. Some believe that using these platforms dulls the brain and reduces the ability to think deeply. But in fact, this is more like a social trend, and the increasing attention to superficial phenomena under the fast food culture has gradually marginalized deep thinking, and outright tool people have become a possible destination for the future of mankind.
In this society, few people read books as often as they did in high school after going to college. It has become rare to read without sleeping at noon. Some people believe that people are not smart enough, and the emergence of short ** platforms such as Douyin is just a gathering of some people who don't like to think.
However, for some, TikTok does come with some after-effects. Once a dependence on short ** is formed, it is more difficult for people to indulge in patient activities, and it may be difficult to read even a book or a movie.
At the social level, it is difficult for civilians to reach a high level of art in a short period of time. The stress and anxiety of life make them have no energy to think about the thoughts of the artist, and can only look for an outlet for the release of stress.
However, TikTok itself is not the source of the problem. It can be seen as a tool for entertainment or it can be tweaked into a tool to help people better access information and knowledge. But most people have a hard time defending themselves against entertainment content.
This question involves self-discipline, critical thinking and social ethos. Douyin is just a medium, and similar problems may arise in comics, video games, and other fields.
Finally, the rise of short ** platforms such as Douyin has also accelerated the spread of the thought virus. For some, the root of the problem may lie in a lack of faith and purpose.
