　　Li Nan (a pseudonym), a parent of a junior high school student in Beijing, feels that it is easy to get immersed in a short video, and time slips away without knowing it.

Minors are particularly inadequate in this aspect of control. There are many friends' children around her who are addicted to short videos, even hiding under the covers in the middle of the night.

Moreover, the content of short videos nowadays is varied, everything is available, and some are not suitable for minors.

Therefore, although she does not restrict her daughter's viewing, she will make an appointment with her daughter in advance of the time for viewing short videos, and will also restrict the content to watch.

　　Yang Binyan, an associate researcher at the Institute of Journalism and Communication of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that short videos are inherently very attractive, which is reflected in many aspects: one is short, which can effectively penetrate the fragmented time; the other is life-oriented. The content is life, with affinity; the third is direct recommendation in the form of video, which is more attractive; the fourth is socialization, a lot of content is integrated into the social, making people feel that they are communicating instead of watching a movie; fifth is the new and strange, many people Easily driven by curiosity.

　　She believes that there are many reasons for short video addiction, two of which are universal.

One is the unknowingly sinking under the recommendation of the algorithm.

I thought it would take a short time to watch a video, but as soon as I finished watching this, a new one came over immediately, and I started to watch the next one before I knew it.

Under the algorithm recommendation, relevant content is continuously pushed over automatically, and people are especially easy to be brought in and immersed in the recommended content.

The second is the closeness of the content.

Short videos are mostly self-portraits uploaded by netizens, and many of them are short daily routines for parents. Such content has a strong experience and sense of substitution for the general public. Many times watching these videos is like taking a home and talking with them.

This sense of companionship meets the needs of many people who desire to communicate.

　　Indulging in short videos for a long time will take up a lot of energy and even delay study, work or sleep.

Yang Binyan suggested to formulate rules for the use of mobile phones and short videos for herself, and strictly limit the time.

You must learn to enrich your offline life and devote yourself to more real life through real-world contacts, sports, and interests.

Pay attention to and care about the people around you, and interact and communicate more in reality.
