Our Problem With Instant Gratification


Listen Later

Having a short attention span can be rough. A lot of us are probably so impatient that we can't even be bothered to sit through a minute-long video so instead, we just keep scrolling to find something else that satisfies us. In this new age of technology, it can be quite scary to think about social media and how we are constantly overdosing on information that is presented to us right at our fingertips. It has become more evident that social media has been catering to our ever-growing impatience with an increase of short-form content such as tiktok, youtube shorts, and instagram reels. Even our dreams and goals are always instant since we can immediately imagine the end goal in our heads, but when it comes to reality, that desired result can be a bit more delayed as we can't physically skip all the steps to get there. In this week's episode, we discuss the negative effects that instant gratification has on our society as well as explore the idea of delayed gratification and how our reluctance to take this route could stem from impatience and even commitment issues. Enjoy!!
