“What	has	happened	in society

people	with ADHD:
There	are	those	who’ve	had	it

It	comes	from	using the		
internet.”

Think	of	YouTube	as	a	Shopping Mall
• Imagine	each	store	as	a single		
YouTube channel.
• Many	people	enter	a	YouTube in		
“just	browsing” mode.
• “Suggested videos”	distract	people	
from	their	original	goal.
• The	result:	user	straying	into	other		
stores,	continuously.	Way	more time		
is	spent	than	planned on.
Think	of	YouTube	as	a	Shopping Mall
Now,	think	of	YouTube	as	a Casino
Why	a Casino?
• Your	Time	is		
YouTube’s money
• YouTube’s revenue		
stream	comes		
from advertisers
• Their	goal	is	to		
have	you	stay long		
enough	so	the		
house	always wins

Why	ADHD	individuals	are	more		
susceptible	to	digital	distractions	and		
Internet	addiction	than	those
without:
An	individual	with	ADHD	has	structural,		
functional,	and	chemical	differences	than	
a		nuerotypical	brain,	which includes:
• Less	dopamine	and	norepinephrine,	both	key	
ingredients	to	reward	and motivation.
• Less	aversion	to	consequences, and;
• Lower	ability	to	activate	and regulate		
behavior	as	well	as emotion.
Technology	gives	the	brain	a	shot		
of dopamine
“The	ADHD	brain	is	one	that	struggles	with		
motivation,	activation,	organizing behaviors,	
managing	time,	and	maintaining focus.
"You	can	easily	make	the connection between	
ADHD	and	the	obstacles	that	highly	engaging		
and	stimulating	technologies	may pose.
Because	of	the	highly	stimulating	nature	of		
video	games,	social	media,	and	the	like,	it		
quickly	and	easily	engages	the brain.”
The	problems	most	often	cited	by	Dr.	Franks’		
clients	and	their	spouses	or	families	have	to	do		
with	a	few	key areas:
1. Amount	of	time	spent	on	digital technologies.
2. Difficulty	transitioning	off	of	the	technology	to	tackle a		
priority task.
3. Being	distracted	and	using	technology	to procrastinate.
4. Impulsivity	particularly	regarding	comments	made and		
pictures	sent	or	posted	on	social	media	and texting.

Social Media and ADHD – Turning Distractions Into Directions

Editor's Notes

  1. http://calibermag.org/articles/what-adhd-feels-like-and-why-its-not-how-you-think-it-is/
  2. Maybe this can help better explain. We know how much the Internet transformed business and our culture. I am here to say that we are going through just as big a revolution. The 5th age of Modern Business is underway. To understand where we are, we must first look back at where we came . We must understand that at each age, businesses had to adapt to technological and market forces We must understand that to survive in our current age, we must fundamentally evolve the organization to a highly adaptive one. Rarely in business history has a new age opened up so many possibilities across every industry and discipline. In less than 5 years, the balance of power has shifted from seller to buyer, from big media to the influential individual, from industry trade associations to thriving digital communities . Now is the single greatest time in history to be in business. This Fifth Age of business has created a new set of rules for organizations to compete in the economy as equals. But being large no longer ensures having a competitive advantage. In fact, it may mean the opposite.  What else is business has been disrupted, shattered or destroyed?

  4. “We have this society where people can’t get away from their cell phones. They get bored. They don’t get the dopamine.”
  5. Being constant distracted affects our focus on people we care about, and negatively impacts how we communicate with each other, and ultimately our relationships with each other.

  7. Published on Jul 3, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0hY5TYVv_s This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. A personal understanding of ADHD is an enlightening source of understanding what it is to live in a hyperlink-enriched world of information. Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and similar media create a highly multifaceted, multidirectional information environment well suited to the ADHD mind.

Theodore Siggelakis is a 2014 graduate of Quinnipiac University. Theo designed his own major in Public Policy Analysis, combining courses from English, Political Science, and Sociology. He has been active in Student Government at Quinnipiac University, has interned for multiple political campaigns and is now Campaign Manager for a state senate campaign in New Hampshire. ------------------------------ Helping understand the thought progression of someone with ADHD. “My brain works like hyperlinks.” Dealing with social inadequacies.
  8. If you have ADHD like me, my neurotransmitter system for dopamine is slowed down. It doesn’t work the same way as everyone else is. When you go on the internet, you get a constant shot of dopamine. What happens is, when you’re used to getting a constant shot of dopamine, yours too slows down. When you’re stuck doing a mundane task that doesn’t give you instant dopamine like the internet, your system slows down and you get bored very quickly.” “We have this society where people can’t get away from their cell phones. They get bored. They don’t get the dopamine.” “What has happened in society is we now have two types of people with ADHD:” There are those who’ve had it since birth; and there’s type 2 – it’s an adult onset. It comes from using the internet. It comes at us the same way as diabetes. There’s one that you’re born with; and there’s one that comes with the environment. The difference between ADHD and diabetes, is that there’s an advantage to being Type 1. There are two distinctive advantages that set me up better to handle the Internet than people who aren’t born with ADHD, but just “acquire” it. One trait is hyper-focus Another is, I’m not overburdened by the Internet. I’m not overwhelmed. I have a discriminatory focus. I know exactly what I want and I don’t focus on anything else… That’s why when I do something I love, it’s not a problem. I’m a 150% into it. But when I have to do something that doesn’t hold my interest, it may take me all day. Our other advantage is peripheral focus. When we’re in the zone, we can also see side details. What happens, we’re able to create a new essential. This is what makes us great entrepreneurs, especially in the technology field.
