Is Distraction Good for Mental Health?
11:7:58 2024-11-07 1589

In 1985, media scholar Neil Postman argued that we as a culture are "amusing ourselves to death." By this, he meant that the emergent media environment was occupying an increased amount of our time and attention and diminishing our capacities for meaningful engagement and reflection.

In 2024, with even more devices that capture our attention, we might reframe his alarming point and ask: Are we distracting ourselves to death? Or, does this alarmist view overlook some of the benefits, especially for mental health, of well-timed distraction?
