I didn't really know where to put this thread so I put it here with the thought that- people literally get obsessed with social media like face book and even forums like this that have notifications.
And I think i figured out why- notifications start to evoke excitement and the positive feelings associated with the first several or maybe the good notifications that you have- the powerful ones that impact your emotions. BUT as time goes on, not all notifications are as exciting and you start (or at least I do) feeling let down when they aren't as god. And so here's where people start to get addicted to that alert or notification because they associate it ith the good feelings of social interaction. You know the kind of people who HAVE to answer a text no matter where they are? The ones who are chained to their phones/ computers. I do, as I sometimes am one of them. So yea, that idea just came to me. Thoughts?
