How did you spend your last holiday? Did you keep watching a screen for nearly (几乎) 10 hours from morning to night? Well, a new report says people spend five and a half hours on the Internet every day! In the report (报道), 69% of the people usually watch short videos (视频) online. Not like reading books or learning, these short videos make us stop thinking for ourselves. The Oxford Word of the Year 2024 — "brain rot (脑腐)" best shows this global (全球的) headache.
But how do we get here? Watching these kinds of short videos is like eating your favourite food. Once you start, it's hard to stop. It's also an easy way to kill time. But this "easy fun" costs you a lot. The more time we spend on our screens, the less real-life happiness we experience. While we are having a "good" time online, we are missing the wonders of the real world. Over time, we feel our lives are becoming more and more boring.
▲? It's time to bring back "free fun" to our holiday. Go out with your friends or family and enjoy the beauty of nature. Take in the fresh air. Take a walk in the warm sunlight. Light up your day with the birdsong. Just don't let your screens take up your free time and leave your brain "rotting"!
