Ever since Douyin frequently hit the screen and topped the App Store, this short video platform has triggered constant discussions.

One of the more widely circulated arguments is that Douyin and Kuaishou are destroying our next generation.

The article with the above sentence as its title is the most popular among parents. It describes the many sins of such platforms in killing children's time, inducing addiction, and lowering their grades.

Parents turned to look at their children who were immersed in the situation with their mobile phones. They panicked for a moment and forwarded warnings, as if their children's lives had come to an end.

Wait, why does this title sound familiar?

Before the emergence of Douyin, we had actually heard the same sentence pattern countless times, "The Internet is destroying the next generation", "Computers are destroying young people", "Mobile phones are destroying the next generation"... From generation to generation, it seems that China

The young people are almost destroyed.

Why are we always being destroyed? What is TikTok’s argument for destroying the next generation?

Similar to emerging technologies such as the Internet, computers, and mobile phones, their original sin is nothing more than: invading children's spare time, attracting their attention, and making them less likely to communicate with their parents.

There is less and less communication between the two generations, and children have their own little world and unique new language. Coupled with the threat to their performance, these factors are enough to poke the sensitive points of many parents, making them panic and make them panic.

Treat these new things that you don’t understand well as scourges.

However, in fact, the biggest reason why children spend too much time on new products such as the Internet may not lie in the product itself, but in the family.

If family life cannot provide children with enough trust and security to make them feel equal and happy, they will naturally seek other more attractive things to divert their attention.

There will always be a character who is obsessed with children and rejected by parents.

This role is now played by Douyin. In the past, it was played by computers, the Internet, mobile phones, and game consoles. In the future, it is likely to be VR and artificial intelligence.

On the other hand, if children spend uncontrolled time on things they are interested in and even affect their normal life, it actually means that parents cannot use better educational methods to guide each other and help them build better relationships.

Time perspective and self-control.

But few people realize this.

When most people face problems that are difficult to solve, the easiest way is to first set a target and then shift all the targets to this target. Houses, takeaways, and lipstick are also considered to have destroyed the Chinese people.

...People who often use this "destruction body" are good at capturing people's fears, such as couples worried about breaking up because of the house, parents worried that their children will not be healthy enough to eat takeaways, and men suffering from being blackmailed by marketing accounts promoting consumerism.

Crisis awareness is an essential skill for human beings to survive to this day, and these articles that promote the destruction of people by things take advantage of this to exaggerate the situation, incite readers' emotions and create fear.

Your partner only occasionally watches Korean dramas to relax after work. The threat of "Korean Dramas Are Destroying Chinese Women" can easily make people worry that the other person will become more and more brainless and naive in the long run, even if she is not good at work and other matters.

affected.

The same is true for other articles about destruction. They apply a few cases and extreme consequences to a common thing, causing the public to panic.

What destroys people is actually not these new things, but the "destruction body" itself.

Making good use of new things is the right way to open up. Even idol soap operas, which are generally considered to have little role other than entertainment, still have their own magical uses: men can learn about the way their partners like to get along by watching the dramas they like.

, to learn more operations to improve the happiness of your love life.

In addition to soap operas, there are many new things that are used to destroy bodies. Not only will they not destroy people, but they will do more good than harm.

This phenomenon was called "Internet addiction" by many parents who did not understand it at the time, and even spawned a group of people who relied on violence to make money from Internet addiction.

business.

The group of people who were considered Internet addicts back then were actually the first people to learn to use the Internet and were needed when technology developed later.

If all parents regarded "Internet addiction" as a disease at that time, forced their children to quit, and wiped out each other's interest in the Internet, these children would not be able to keep up with the times and the trends of their peers when they grow up, and they would also lose their place in the job market.

increased competitiveness.

In the face of interesting and attractive new technological products, the correct way for us to deal with them should not be to treat them as savage beasts, but to control the time and frequency and utilize them.

The same goes for TikTok.

As a video content platform, it itself has a lot of positive content.
