gives a nice in short for the weekend, slows, get right to it and start off I say in your life What consumes your mind control Your life and finances part one by key flanders of Key Flanders D. Come what did you do this weekend? Did you get outside gopher, brunch, your dinner curl up and read a book or watch a movie while you're doing that. How many times did Shaq Facebook, twitter Instagram and or Pinterest? It's been Twenty minutes mindlessly scrolling to the latest in greatest of all your friends in favour brands shared. I wish I could say answer was zero, or even that I do it just a few times long good about I'll get my phone when I'm with friends the opposite can be true, when I'm alone and in the past it has cost me a pretty penny myself on plan includes six gigabytes of data. I dont know how this compares to all my friends south of the border, but six gigabytes is practically unhurt

in Canada. Most my friends. Have one or two gigabytes of data and our smartphone These are some of the most expensive in the world. I was offered six gigabytes for a life. It's on my account until twenty third, six for some strange and wonderful reason when my provider screwed up something big on my count years ago. Anna. Except to think it was more than I ever need until the spring six gig its a data had always been enough. For me. I, through a bit of a rough patch from April that and as a result, lays the round then mindlessly consumed ridiculous amount of content on my cell phone. When I woke up in the morning at reach for my phone and spend the first time, Thirty minutes of my day reviewing what I'd missed. While I was asleep, I checked it constantly throughout day, despite the fact that, as already online for twelve plus hours for work in my blog and as soon as us, And was work, I'd, be lazy and stream Netflix on my phone in bed for more hours than I care to admit our world. Looking for inside all those apps. Something to make me feel bad. I suppose, or in a school

at the very least, looking back They gave an realised how much more time all spending staring at their tiny screen become aware of it until I got my cell phone bill in July and it had an additional thirty dollars charge on it. For the extra two point, nine six gigabytes data used in June, even beyond the six gigabytes of my plan. Ma Am one person, in person does not need to use nine gigabytes of cell phone data. How would I you so much. I blame what I call digital flow and university, one of my favorite classes was on media and cultural studies. In the first aha moment, I had in my entire program happen. While I was writing a paper for that class on the topic of flo, Flow is another word for programming and as the technique, television networks used to keep people watching their channels. Originally coined by Raymond Williams? A welsh academic who was well known for his thoughts on mass media flow describes a smooth transition network set out from one television show to another, including the ads and between. So you keep watching,

was on that one network, for example, for watching episode of property brothers, the commercial breaks will likely include I miss, restores that sell home, decor items, appliances, etc, and then the network will typically sharing or two of a similar shall like love it or list at the fire commercial will be a short clip of tax that list. What shows are coming up after property brothers, which we similar that show is no reason. For something new to watch of the show in the next episode looks great as others. We want you to think as a result of flow. From a television standpoint, alot of people believe the old concept of flow is being challenged by the fact We now have so many commercial three options to choose from like Hulu and Afflux when we can or cable? And I, for one of these options we are incomplete country. Of what we watch or are we The term binge watch has been around since full seasons of television at a price tag slot on them, but has been a common phrase for us. All the invention of Netflix. When was the last

I'm! U turn on Netflix and only washed one episode of a show ya mean either, even though the flow is only been used to describe television programming. I think we can take it one step further and apply to all forms of digital media regularly social media. The concept of flow is to make you can see. One thing for us all: possible television, worse- accomplish this by lining up certain shows in corresponding advertisements one after the other sea never feel the need pick up the remote and change the channel but social media hours do similar things to keep you on their sites for hours and maybe even by something as a result must think about this. When Facebook first launch all you do fill out ashore profile, share, status, updates, remember, Kate, is and poke. Your friends is created You connect with people meant nothing more taken share. Huge fora The bombs and lengthy videos create events, start groups and even hosts chats as tough as

all about connecting, but it also keeps you online longer on top of that, your news feed constantly Russia's based on an algorithm that tells Facebook what kind of content you like, and that includes targeted ads based on the information this digital flow has provided. Pinterest is my these favorite of all the social media networks out, there is actually believe it is the big ways of our time and markers, bring, in a lot of traffic and make a lot of money because we waste so much time on the site. Make many hard and fast statements like that here, but I just fine to be the least productive of all social networks is gone, sat in his eye was greedy, keep users on the site for hours on end and similar to the way face. Looks algorithm changes. What you see in your news, feed based on a recent activity. Pinterest shows you from other users. You don't follow based on what you ve been pinning. Thank you again. Digital oh for keeping us online longer to be continued.
