Don't Watch This by Michael Rosenblum
Today, the average person spends an astonishing eight hours a day watching TV or videos online. Watching social media stories, movies, and TV is now our number one activity, outpacing everything else that we do, including sleep.This habit has an incredibly powerful influence on our lives - from what we think to what we buy to whom we elect. Media are more than entertainment - they are a drug. This media addiction wreaks havoc on our mental health, causing increased stress, depression, and anxiety, and ruining personal relationships. It also drives us deeper and deeper into debt. In Don't Watch This, former TV producer and Ivy League professor Michael Rosenblum reveals the hidden psychology driving us to media addiction. He describes why solving the problem is not as simple as swearing off our devices, but about learning how to use media for good.Michael Rosenblumhas spent over 30 years building and designing television stations and networks worldwide based on the concept of the video journalist (VJ), which he originated. He has founded several media companies including TheVJ.com, The Travel Channel Academy, New York Times Television, Current TV, and RosenblumTV.com, among others. He has trained more than 50,000 people to work as independent VJs and has thousands of hours of programming for cable and broadcast. His clients include the Spectrum, Verizon, United Nations, The BBC, theGuardian, the Voice of America, McGraw-Hill, and Conde Nast. He has taught at Columbia University and Oxford University.
