00:00In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.
00:02If you don't watch Reels, Shorts and TikTok videos, then this video is not for you.
00:10And if you watch Reels, Shorts and TikTok, then please wait, because I have some very important things to say to you.
00:17Because this topic is probably the most important topic of our lives.
00:23Because we are spending the most part of our lives watching these videos.
00:29So, are these videos beneficial for us, or are they harmful?
00:33So, we will compare how harmful are Reels, Shorts and TikTok, and how beneficial are they.
00:40So, let's start with the benefits.
00:42Since I myself watch a lot of videos in search of content, and now it has become a habit.
00:50Or you can say it has become an addiction.
00:53One after another, Reels one after another, Shorts one after another, or TikTok videos one after another, we keep scrolling.
01:01But if you ask me, what did I learn from the 200-300 Reels, Shorts and TikTok videos I watched today?
01:09Or what did I remember from those Reels, Shorts and TikTok videos?
01:14Then maybe I didn't remember anything.
01:17Because one video after another, one video after another, one video after another,
01:21the message in any one video, the content in any one video,
01:26checking it, assessing it, thinking about it, paying attention to it,
01:31or we don't have time to remember it, because the next video has already come in front of us.
01:37So, are we learning anything from these videos?
01:40The answer is no.
01:41Is there any improvement in our memory from these videos?
01:45Is there any improvement?
01:46The answer is no.
01:47Do we remember these videos?
01:49The answer is no.
01:51What are the disadvantages?
01:53I can talk about this in detail because I am personally going through these experiences.
01:58And you must all be going through these experiences.
02:01The most basic thing is that we are now addicted to these videos.
02:07We get a strange feeling if our phone is taken away from us for a while.
02:13Or for a while, people in our life, people in our family, our friends,
02:18tell us to stop watching Reels and talk to us.
02:22So we get a strange feeling, a strange irritation.
02:27So many of you will agree that we and you are addicted to Reels, Shorts and TikTok videos.
02:38We and you touch our phones 2,500 to 3,000 times a day.
02:45Only in that restlessness, only in that curiosity that what new will be seen,
02:50what will be the new thing, what will be the new video, what will be the new content.
02:54So 2,500 to 3,000 times our attention is focused on our mobile phones.
03:01We spend at least 7 to 8 hours a day on mobile phones.
03:07The time that our work deserves, the time that our family deserves,
03:11the time that our memories deserve, the time that our friends deserve.
03:16Unfortunately, we are giving that time to mobile phones.
03:20So the most basic thing is that you and I are addicted to mobile phones,
03:24and in actual Reels, Shorts and TikTok videos.
03:31Secondly, our memory is having a very bad and negative effect.
03:38That's why I told you at the beginning of this vlog
03:41how many Reels, Shorts and TikTok videos you remember.
03:46So much data is being stored in our memory that we don't even have time to recall it.
03:53We can't even use it in everyday life.
03:56Which is not even becoming an inactual part of our memory,
03:59but it is filling our memory bank.
04:03Our memory is constantly being filled with such unnecessary data.
04:08And as a result, our memory is getting weaker.
04:12In comparison to the past, today's people have very little memory.
04:16A song comes, it hits for a while, and then it is lost from our memory.
04:21A poem, a poem, a book, a time spent with friends,
04:26a few moments spent with family,
04:28all of them disappear from our memory so quickly
04:32because their place is being taken by unnecessary data, unnecessary videos,
04:36and unnecessary content continuously.
04:40So we are getting addicted.
04:42Unfortunately, we are not making memories.
04:44Our memory is having a very negative and deep effect of watching Reels, Shorts and TikTok.
04:50And the most important thing is,
04:52if we keep staring at our mobile screen for 6-7 hours a day,
04:58if we touch our mobile phone 2,500-3,000 times,
05:03if we keep our phone away from us for a minute,
05:06then we start feeling restless and irritated.
05:09This means that we are not giving our friends and family members the time they deserve.
05:17There are cracks in our relationships.
05:19We are moving away from our friends.
05:21We are not creating good memories with our friends and family.
05:27And then, obviously, when you are staring at your mobile screen for 7 hours,
05:32it means that whatever work you are doing,
05:35you are also wasting that work.
05:38You are also harming that work.
05:40This means that you are not paying attention to your duty, your job, your profession, and your work.
05:48This is because we are addicted to a new type of addiction.
05:52And that addiction is the addiction of the mobile screen.
05:55That addiction is the addiction of Reels.
05:57That addiction is the addiction of TikTok.
05:59And that addiction is the addiction of Shorts.
06:01And of course, along with this, the negative effects on our health are happening.
06:06When you stare at your mobile screen for 7-8 hours,
06:12it will definitely weaken your vision.
06:14When your vision weakens, you will also be affected by nerve diseases.
06:18Then, when you watch a content independently,
06:21and after watching one video, there is no pause between the other video,
06:26to the extent that there is no time to breathe in the right words.
06:30We forget to breathe.
06:32We are only breathing because we want to stay alive.
06:36We are not breathing in the right words.
06:39Our oxygen is not reaching the different parts of the body.
06:42You can imagine that when you watch Reels, Shorts, and TikTok for hours,
06:47then you do not get time to pause, take a deep breath, think, and think.
06:53So ultimately, you are not breathing properly.
06:57You get into a strange and strange stress.
07:00You are constantly in the same position,
07:02watching Reels, Shorts, and TikTok in the same way.
07:07Now, you are in stress.
07:10You are a victim of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
07:15Because you are deprived of the ability to focus your attention on one place at a particular time.
07:23Because you need something new every few seconds.
07:27So you are gradually deprived of the ability to focus on any work.
07:33And then unfortunately,
07:35the amount of misinformation we are getting,
07:37because we are not getting time to think and think about that information.
07:43Where is that information coming from?
07:45What is its source?
07:47We don't know anything.
07:48So ultimately, we keep believing everything that we see in these short videos.
07:55And ultimately, we make our life impractical.
08:00Our life becomes impractical.
08:02We use those medicines that are not good for our health.
08:06We use those products that ultimately make our skin, our face, our body completely ugly.
08:13We are getting information that has no basis.
08:17So ultimately, through misinformation, our life is also heading towards impracticality.
08:24Of course, our attitude has changed a lot since COVID.
08:29We have become very friendly with screens, televisions, and mobile phones.
08:34But is it in any way beneficial for us to keep watching short videos,
08:40i.e. Shorts, Reels, and TikTok,
08:42and spend hours watching them, ignoring the environment around us?
08:47All of us, all the people who are watching this video,
08:50All of us are doing all of this unfortunately.
08:54What is the solution to this?
08:56It is very difficult.
08:57Because when someone asks you to hang up the phone and talk,
09:01you get angry.
09:03You feel like you want to jump on it and start fighting with it.
09:07Because you feel that the closest thing to you,
09:10i.e. if you don't scroll the videos for a while, something will stop.
09:14Life will end. The world will stop.
09:16A strange feeling begins.
09:18It is very difficult.
09:19Before you go to sleep, you pick up your phone again and again,
09:22watch it, and then hang up.
09:23Then after a while, your hand goes to the phone unwillingly.
09:27And this happens many times during the day.
09:29So is it possible to get rid of this addiction?
09:32It is difficult, but not impossible.
09:35You will have to make efforts again and again.
09:37You will have to take deep breaths.
09:39You will have to start giving time to the people around you.
09:43You will have to return to the books.
09:46There are so many things that you may think are impossible to do.
09:52But believe me, this habit of watching shorts, reels, and TikTok
09:58will ultimately disconnect us from this world.
10:03If we want to have good memories,
10:06if we want peace in our homes,
10:08if we want to have a good time with each other,
10:11if we want to learn something,
10:13if we want to have a positive impact on our lives,
10:19then we will have to do anything to limit our time
10:23that we are spending on shorts, reels, and TikTok.
