It's not true, but it is! The most bizarre addictions in the world will absolutely shock you. When we think of the word addiction, we first think of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, as well as shopping and sex, but there are many other, even very strange forms of addiction that will make you cringe and roll your eyes and which you would never even think of! Meet the most bizarre addictions in the world!
SUR-FAKE is a series of photographs by French photographer Antoine Geiger that depicts people in everyday situations with their gazes sucked into smartphone screens. But with an important detail. With photo manipulation, she created creepy scenes that reveal how smartphones suck us in and how we ignore the world around us. Has our obsession with portable devices gone too far? Have smartphones really stolen our souls?
Hide and Seek is a photo series that summarizes life in the digital age in one photo. It is a project by photographer Kamil Kotarba, who erased people from scenes from everyday life, leaving only their hand holding a smartphone. With surrealistic scenes, he draws attention to the negative effects that mobile devices have on our lives. Shocking!
Smartphones have radically changed our lives. In the first breath, we will say that for the better, because in many cases they have made our lives easier, but after a little longer consideration, the pluses will quickly be lost in the minuses. We have ourselves to blame for this. We started exaggerating, and as we know, no exaggeration is good. Many studies thus confirm the many negative consequences of smartphones on our mental and physical health, so it is high time to cure this addiction. Which can be difficult. That's why we've prepared a technology cure, a detox with a doable weekly plan to wean yourself off your smartphone to successfully cut the umbilical cord.
When the word addiction comes to mind, we first think of drugs, alcohol, and food. Well, at least it was like that until a few years ago. In recent years, however, dependence on information technology, i.e. computers, mobile or smart phones, and the Internet, has increasingly come to the fore. The excessive use of the Internet may be the most pressing problem, but addiction to technology has many faces, and Ajit Johnson embodied them in brutally honest digital illustrations that show what kind of slaves we have become to modern technology.
A smartphone is an indispensable accessory for a representative of generation Y. Even so much so that he can no longer imagine life without it. At BuzzFeed, they therefore decided to invite six representatives of the millennial generation to an experiment and challenge them. One week without a phone. It wasn't exactly life and death, but for some it wasn't far from it. But they also came to important insights. Check.
They say the zombie apocalypse is just around the corner, but if you look around a bit, it's been here for a while. Looking at the crowded streets of major cities, it sometimes seems that the walking dead are walking on the sidewalks instead of people. Such people have already become known as zombie pedestrians, as they walk without a sense of direction, and their attention is focused on the smartphone screen instead of what is happening around them. This is just one of the proofs that we have become addicted to smartphones.
Carl Gustav Jung once said: "Every form of addiction is bad, whether it's drugs, alcohol, morphine or idealism." Today, I'd probably add Facebook to the list. Most of us will deny that we are addicted to it, but since addiction is full of paradoxes, denial is an integral part of this disease. Cravings can therefore be just as harmful and addictive as nicotine or sweets.
Too often people wear stress as a badge of honor and humility, when we "brag" about how little sleep we had last night, what a busy and busy weekend we had, and how busy we are that we can't afford a vacation yet. This lifestyle seems to have reached epidemic proportions. Some experts believe that our close relationship with stress is partly our own fault. Indeed, many of us are actually addicted to stress. Are you one of those people who are numbed by stress?
We, the children of the Fix generation is a drama consisting of ten stories of young people who each deal with addiction in their own way, and all of them are connected by a friend who committed suicide.
