Addiction to Technology is Ruining Lives - Simon Sinek on Inside Quest
Transcripts
we know that engagement with social
media and our cellphones releases a
chemical called dopamine that's why when
you get a text feels good right so you
know we've all had it we you're feeling
a little bit down or feeling a bit
lonely and so you send out ten texts to
ten friends you know hi hi hi hi hi
because it feels good when you get a
response right right it's why we count
the likes it's why we go back ten times
to see if and if it's going if our my
Instagram is growing slower I would do
something wrong do they not like me
anymore right the trauma for young kids
to be unfriended right because we know
when you get it you get a hit a dopamine
which feels good it's why we like it
it's why we keep going back to it
dopamine is the exact same chemical that
makes us feel good when we smoke when we
drink and when we gamble in other words
it's highly highly addictive right we
have age restrictions on smoking
gambling and alcohol and we have no age
restrictions on social media and cell
phones which is the equivalent of
opening up the liquor cabinet and saying
to our teenagers hey by the way this
adolescence thing if it gets you down
but that's basically what's happening
that's basically what's happening right
that's basically what happened you have
an entire generation that has access to
an addictive numbing to chemical called
dopamine through social media and
cellphones as they're going through the
high stress of adolescence why is this
important almost every alcoholic
discovered alcohol when they were
teenagers when we're very very young the
only approval we need is the approval of
our parents and as we go through
adolescence we make this transition
where we now need the approval of our
peers very frustrating for our parents
very important for us that allows us to
acculturate
outside of our immediate families into
the broader tribe right it's a highly
highly stressful and anxious period of
our lives and we're supposed to learn to
rely on our friends some people quite by
accident discover alcohol and numbing
effects of dopamine to help them cope
with the stresses and anxieties of
adolescence unfortunately that becomes
hardwired in their brains and for the
rest of their lives when they suffer
significant stress they will not turn to
a person they will turn to the bottle
social stress financial stress career
that's pretty much the primary reasons
why an alcoholic drinks right what's
happening is because we're allowing
unfettered access to these dopamine
producing devices and media basically
it's becoming hardwired and what we're
seeing is as they grow older they to
many kids don't know how to form deep
meaningful relationships their words not
mine they will admit that many of their
friendships are superficial they will
admit that their friends that they don't
count on their friends they don't rely
on their friends they have fun with
their friends but they also know that
their friends will cancel out them that
something better comes along deep
meaningful relationships are not there
because they never practice the skill
set and worse they don't have the coping
mechanisms to deal with stress so when
significant stress starts to show up in
their lives they're not turning to a
person they're turning to a device
they're turning to social media they're
turning to these things which offer
temporary relief we know the science is
clear we know that people who spend more
time on Facebook so far higher rates of
depression than people who spend less
time on Facebook write these things
balanced alcohol is not bad too much
alcohol is bad gambling is fun too much
gambling is dangerous right there's
nothing wrong with social media and cell
phones it's the imbalance right if
you're sitting at dinner with your
friends and you're texting somebody
who's not there that's a problem that's
an addiction if you're sitting in a
meeting with people you're supposed to
be listening to and speaking and you put
your phone on the table face up or face
down I don't care that sends the
subconscious message to the room that
you're not just you're just not that
important to me right now right that's
what happens and the fact that you
cannot put it away it's because you are
addicted right if you wake up and you
check your phone before you say good
morning to your girlfriend boyfriend or
spouse you have an addiction and like
all addiction in time it'll destroy
relationships it'll cost time and it
will cost money and will make your life
worse
