Media Boxx by swillinbillyflynn

Media Boxx

It is quite disturbing when you realise, that there are thousands and thousands of people, whose job it is, to work out ways to keep you constantly transfixed and eternally scrolling on your phone and your computer. So that you are force fed a constant barrage of mind numbing advertising.

Do you ever have the courage to add up how many hours a day you spend on pointless scrolling, trapped in a self imposed media prison. Maybe, that's why they call them cell phones.

I love your thoughts shared on this one. My choice was to cut the root of the weed: I removed all social accounts, but 365. So, my scrolling time is really scarce. But yes, there is life beyond scrolling, beyond facebook and instagram and ticktok.

What is this Media Boxx in fact? Some wifi cell? Or?

Stunning capture and narrative! I am also interested in the media box, how come it is behind bars?

365 scrolling doesn't count though?

I minimise scrolling to the bare minimum and refuse to be sucked in although I have been tempted. Great tune to match your narrative.

@monikozi @ludwigsdiana I'm not entirely sure what it is. I didn't venture in in case it locked me in. 😁

@30pics4jackiesdiamond 365 is the best sort of scrolling and no adverts........ other than me adverting my latest CD. 😉

@wakelys I don't even own a mobile phone. Which helps to minimise scrolling. 😁

@swillinbillyflynn You don't own a mobile, does that mean you borrow one from Kitty??

@ludwigsdiana No, she has an ancient Nokia that just does calls and texts. She doesn't give the number to anyone though. So neither of us have a smart phone. We have no need or desire to own one. I have a landline at home with an answerphone on it. I check face book on my laptop each morning....... So people can contact us...... but when we are out, we are OUT! The world usually manages to limp on for an hour or two without our supervision. 😁
