Slow Mode

Paige steered me towards this discussion on Slow Internet. It starts as a callout regarding the new Telegram app and how it contains a "Slow Mode" for preventing messages being sent too quickly; presumably forcing a bit of mental pause and reflection but goes in some interesting directions from there. By and large, there is a consensus that the Social Internet is killing our attention spans and, possibly more devastating, harming our ability to feel satisfaction.

Instead of just favoriting the Tweet and hoping you see it, I wanted to take special care to point out that you should find some time (whenever convenient) to flip through the responses. Personally, I find myself spending less and less time on any social networks and I do feel the FOMO from it, a sensation that I'm not particularly fond of.

TLDR: Food for thought.
