The Promise of Efficiency
When the internet was created, it came with grand promises—instant access to information, faster communication, and tools to make life easier. No more searching through dusty encyclopaedias, no more waiting days for a letter to arrive, and no more wasted time. At least, that was the idea.
The Reality of Distraction
Fast forward to today, and we’ve somehow managed to take this powerful tool for efficiency and turn it into the ultimate time drain. We open our phones to check one quick thing… and suddenly, we’re watching a video about a penguin befriending a cat. Social media, endless scrolling, and autoplay features ensure that every spare moment is accounted for—not by productivity, but by perfectly curated distractions.
Wasting Time, But Efficiently
The irony isn’t just that we waste time online—it’s that we’ve become better at it than ever before. Algorithms ensure we’re constantly engaged, notifications demand our attention, and before we know it, an evening is gone, leaving us wondering, "Where did the time go?" The internet may have been built to save time, but it’s made us remarkably efficient at spending it instead.
