10 thoughts about deriving entertainment from screens:

In today's world, we seek pleasure/entertainment from mobiles/laptops:

1. We prefer Netflix than going to the cinema hall. Going to the cinema hall with family is a full-on experience where we do a lot of other things than watching a movie on a screen. Any form of entertainment should involve your active involvement.
2. Dancing is better than watching other people dance. The idea that you watch dance videos to seek inspiration is again a foolish concept. 99% of the people who watch dance videos don't dance at all just like the cricket fans who watch every ball of the match but never play at all.
3. Being a participant is better than being a spectator: We are not participants at all. We love to see what others are doing but we don't try to do it because of the fear of judgments.
4. Entertainers think their job is to make people smile/happy: The idea that I can make you happy has one big flaw. If your happiness depends on my actions, then you are a slave to my actions.  What you are getting is a momentary pleasure. Once the moment is gone, you are again returned to your miserable condition.
5. The negative effect on eyes sight in decreasing order: Mobile Phone> Laptop screens> Big Screens. While watching on mobile screens, your eyes have to work hard, your pupil becomes wider and for noticing small things, you have to focus harder. 
6. One question is: Are we evolved to get entertained all the time? In the past century, there was a lot of physical activity in a day, so passive entertainment could have been justified. But today it's not the case, Our muscles rarely get stretched and the physical exhaustion never happens. So, where we draw the lines of entertainment?
7. Watching likes/comments on posts of other people: Social Media exploits this vulnerability of complimenting people. We, humans, want to feel appreciated. Social Media encourages those posts which have maximum engagement. So, there are rewards offered for our insecurities.
8. Being bored: The advertising brands associate boredom with something negative. But being bored is one trait that makes us creative. Working on a problem for a long time will make us bored but if we are comfortable with boredom, we will be able to find a solution.
9. Videos are replacing books: When something is easily delivered to you in the form of videos, then you hardly think deep about it. When you read books, you think hard and construct an imaginary world which is a difficult but enriching process. But videos don't make you push your cognitive limits.
10. Songs and Music: Music is enriching. Songs are noise. 90%songs are useless. I am not going to spend my time finding that 10% of good songs.
