Swimming and scrolling? When even water no longer disconnects us
A viral video showing a woman scrolling on her smartphone while swimming has sparked amusement and concern around the world. At the same time, it reveals a deeper issue: our growing dependence on constant digital stimulation. Even activities that once encouraged full presence, such as swimming, no longer seem sufficient on their own. This behavior shows how strongly we have been conditioned to continuously seek dopamine stimuli and how difficult it has become for us to focus on a single experience.
