Infinite Scrolling
That is apparently what happens when teens go online. It never stops nd increased the addictive power of social media. I can fall into this addictive habit myself with ease - Apple News can go on forever. But that is easy to fix. How about a limit on the number of items that can be scrolled on a visit - or even better, on a day? What if government made it mandatory to stop at say - 30 items. If you try this on FaceBook, you will ptobably see an even number of ads and posts from friends - but suppose that’s all you could see in a day. It really points up how banal the experience actually is.
