I wish science in my school was taught like this. A fun way of learning. Better than the boring way in school.
hey guys! i just started my channel as a guy who moved from Russia to the USA. And would be amazing, if you checked out my content and gave some advice
@Victoria Anger enjoy school, it’s the best years of your life! Crazy how I remember making this comment, and now I’ve finished university!
@Victoria Anger oh I’ve just realised what you meant, you’re actually watching this video while learning at school? Crazy haha I had no idea people would still watch this all these years later.
Good luck in school!

😡😡😡😠
This is why I try to take breaks from Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. I have a pretty decent sized following on all of them and you get addicted to seeing that lil notification at the top of the page everytime you log in and I dont think thats too healthy for me haha…..Youtube on the other hand is another addiction I just cannot break haha
That’s not even funny. It’s affecting your productivity and decision making. You’re literally laughing at it.
@Human Animal l
Great work AsapSCIENCE! We’re really impressed with how efficiently you convey so much information.
I love you guys! Teaching science in an interesting way. Keep up the awesome videos
My memory is a lot worse these days, I don’t remember things that I’ve just done. I can’t even remember things that happened last week.
my short span memory used to be around two-three minutes years ago, but now it’s literally four seconds
i wish i was kidding, but it’s only four seconds
getting back to writing things by hand is helping me get better, and so is reading, but now that i lost the habit it’s tricky
Same!!!
depending on the person .. depending on what it is used for .. like a knife .. it can be used to cut meat and vegetables but it can also be used to kill .. it all depends on the person .. Cell phones also have negative effects .. there is also a positive impact from cell phones .. the same as social media .. depending on the mindset of people using it .. just be wise in using anything .. everything has 2 sides .. like using a knife, like using a cellphone, including social media, including youtube .. youtube also has video content that is of no use .. that’s the right of each one to watch what and what to post .. and what to subscribe to .. just like social media .. the right of users to update anything .. want to block or unfollow anyone .. want to follow anyone .. because they have the right to do anything that does not harm other people at least not committing a crime
social media is just a means .. don’t blame social media .. but blame its immature users and don’t use social media wisely .. social media unites those who are far away. Stay connected .. your friends who are far away .. your family who is far away can find out your news and condition .. WhatsApp is social media, linkedIn is social media, TikTok is social media, line is social media, snapchat is social media, Pinterest is social media, Tumblr is social media, etc .. social media introduces new people and add new friends
Don’t just look at the negative side but also look at the positive side .. social media brings together distant people. Stay connected .. meet new people .. add friends .. promotions and business through digital .. get news from within the country and abroad .. discuss and share knowledge .. discussing an event that occurred .. knowing the activities and news of idol figures or state and religious figures .. looking for job vacancies .. making events .. looking for a mate .. as entertainment to fill free time .. joining the community according to hobbies and interests .. political campaign media .. upload a memento and travel (travel) .. become an endorse on social media, stay connected with old friends .. keep abreast of technology and communication, etc
You also don’t like it if you only value the negative side without seeing the positive side of yourself
What are the conditions for applying for a job to include social media in the curriculum vitae which is used to easily connect and be able to discuss .. do all types of cellphones need to be installed by default social media applications to be able to contact family and friends
ok then what happened last year
i cant remember yesterday
Explains why I’ve watch like 15 of your videos in a row lol. I’m addicted. Also I seriously have that phantom vibration syndrome stuff happen to me at least once a day. Awesome vid guys!!!
Anybody else has that eerie feeling of being into social media so much? It has become a lifestyle, a life choice. It’s like you don’t realize it is shaping your life already, keeping you from seeing what truly matters in your life. I don’t like that feeling that I am being a slave to these things. I better exercise caution and self-control.

True
How ya feeling now?
I have been keeping this to myself, but social media has been terrible this past week for my mood. I have been having mood swings, i haven’t been able to sleep properly… i think imma pause it real quick for a week and see if i can recalibrate my emotions and my sleep patterns
nice
I’m happy I had childhood filled with playing outside and always running around in the yard instead of just looking a tiny screen all day and night
My childhood was mixed. On one hand, I got a phone VERY young and was always into videogames. On the other hand I was (and still am) an aerialist and figure skater. But overall I was more of an inside kid, nothing about that has changed- I’ve more of a book kid rather than social media, yknow?
@Artyzzle shut up boomer
Same here
Haha, up till elementary I started to involve more time into watching the screen as my parents did.. this lifestyle carried on and its really effecting my abilities to run, be myself, thinking, be present, keep up with school, it’s exhausting really! We only have borrowed time and I’d rather be outside but these fears programmed into my brain is keeping up a constant loop of retelling the same story over and over
We have an ability to create a different story by focusing on what we want! Cuz you see, the more time we put into doing these things to find excitement, the more it becomes our reality like a cycle everyday, though reprogramming can be done w repetition
Lucky you😭
I’m an extremely introvert person, so I haven’t used any social media except youtube in half a year. I just text people when I *need* to and talk to people when I’m near them.
That’s pretty much me.
I read this short article on a 8 hour study of teens 13 to 18 years of age going the full 8 hours w/o any electronic interaction (no phone, internet, tv, etc…). There were 68 teens who participated in this study and only 2 went the entire 8 hours w/ no negative feelings or thoughts. The two surviving teens were boys that preferred to go out and play some kind of sport. One boy took the bus over and over again from one end of the city to the other for the eight hours.
The other kids experienced severe panic attacks, intense anxiety, aggravated boredom, etc… One girl went into something of an anxiety induced seizure because she couldn’t check her phone for media notifications. Essentially, she showed the same symptoms of a heroine addict going through withdrawal.
That’s freaking insane. I am so baffled that my generation is so involved with technology that they can’t separate themselves from it for even half a day. I like my computer and my little app games but jeez! I wouldn’t have an anxiety attack over it!

@HolyToledoI find it terrible that when I suggest to friends that I would like to turn of my phone for a week or so they get annoyed and tell me not to. It is absolutely whithin my rights to decide this myself.
The thing is, technology is taking over the planet and it can’t just erase itself from our future. It’s just shoved in our faces and these sites and apps even if damaging are mostly made for us
It made this generation change and there are pro’s and con’s but I do wish I could go outside with my friends but nobody would be our or having to fight against my own boredom is a fear I’m willing to take but it’s harder now because everything is virtual and anything can be virtual
I think any time we take something away from someone that is part of their daily routine, I would guess that the reactions would be similar.
Great analysis and explanation of Internet addiction. I’ve never heard of phantom vibration syndrome before (and haven’t experienced it either, luckily). I think the higher percentage of successful partnerships among those who met online is because the filtering process in online dating is much more detailed and intense, so it’s unlikely for people to end up on a date with someone whose views/interests are severely incompatible.
I think it’s amazing that social media can be addicting like drugs. It is also interesting that social media is more addicting when we talk about ourselves. It’s sad that 80% of our online communication is all self involved.
i’m my opinion, technology can definietly be productive or regressive depending on our ability to separate it from the reality we truly exist in and how we can move past vicariously living through our social media identities.
That first fact actually worried me a little. I spend a lot of time on Twitter and I get annoyed if it loads slowly, but I’ve also gone a week or two with little or no social media usage and found it refreshing. I definitely think it’s harming our abilities to multitask too, the more devices we use. It seems productive but it’s the opposite!
Very interesting to learn about the differences between communication face-to-face and through social media. It’s true, you do become more self-involved.
The internet is destroying and improving my life at the same time.

@Karma Akabane what do you think are you from the 1500s
Critical
I love ASAP Science! They are very informational videos and get right to the point.
Definitely want to go back to the old days when there wasn’t any social media bugging me. It was better running around outside and playing with friends instead of being at home doing nothing all day, just liking random posts on Instagram and Twitter
It is true that internet users, including me, are unable to control how much time they spend online. Besides, our conversation by face to face is less than communication in social media. I couldn’t agree more that our brain and behavior may never be the same because of social media.
I remember watching this video 6 years ago, and I’m barely able to handle my social media addiction to this date. 🥺
