A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?
I’m introverted. I always keep myself in offline mode unless I explicitly want to be talked to. If I’m having a conversation or being available, it’s on my own terms. The constant flood of notifications when I’m doing something is aggravating and tiring, as is the expectation that I immediately respond or else I’m a jerk for ignoring people.
