Me and you grew up in different ages of the internet. I was 6yo in 2010
Why read when you can watch.
Why play with toys when you can play video games.
Not trying to say that watching YouTube or playing video games is bad - (they can be just as educational imo) but what happens is your overall standard for gratification gets raised. This increased standard makes what should be normal tasks become mundane. The overall effect of which is compulsion to avoid the mundane task.
Sounds like your experience was with the internet as a knowledge tool. Currently, id argue it’s a time-sink and mind-sink for the majority of people.
p.s I don’t have adhd/autism if that’s what you’re thinking.
