Is Tiktok Shortening Our Attention Span?

As someone who was born into a generation that has grown up with social media all around them, I have noticed something happening with myself and my peers around me. The popular social media app, Tiktok, is an app where you scroll through thousands of short videos that can range from ten seconds to three minutes. I’ve been noticing that the more I use this app, the harder it is to do things like watch shows, read a book, or even sit down and get work done. I’ve been using this app a lot more recently because of the platform I’ve gained on it, but I’m now realizing that all of the time I spent there is taking a toll on me. I highly recommend that if you’re like me and use Tiktok frequently throughout the day, take a break and make an effort to limit yourself.
