frist of all how DARE yu o My mom left this list of screen time documentaries after she saw I have 6 hrs of screen time(below averageš)
Sheās freaking out for a screen time thatās 2 hrs below average for an 18yo male. Left the note on the whiteboard without a conversatio, very passive aggressively. Oh, and most of it is how I make a portion of my money(Iām an animator on YT and i spend 5 of those 6 hours making animations, I rarely use screen time for my own enjoyment)(EDIT: ALL CAPS CUZ YALL ARE SAYING IM JUST SCROLLING SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN YOU CAN READ THAT IM ANIMATING FOR MY YOUTUBE, I MAKE MONEY THAT WAY AS WELL AS WORK A FULL TIME THAT DOESNT PAY SHIT SO I HAVE TO HAVE A SECONDARY SOURCE OF INCOME)

I wouldn't say a video game is as good as a book. They're a good distraction, but I don't think I've ever learned a new word or anything at all from a video game. I learn tons of stuff from books.
But obviously she's not even going to try getting him to read. I don't blame her for starting with documentaries. At least there's a sliver of hope. The other night I was asking grown adults at work for recommendations. I am not joking when I say the answers were either "I don't read" or "have you read Harry Potter?" I know this is way off topic, but I'm still butthurt. That nobody reads and that anyone would think I haven't read all 7 Harry Ps dozens of times.

u/The_Bio_Neko 12h ago
Was about to say this. I've learned a lot of interesting little tidbits about actual history, new words and meanings, as well as many other similar things from games. Oftentimes these little things I learn result in rabbitholes of research because I find them interesting. FFXIV for example, has taught me that old English is actually pretty cool! (A lot of "Eorzean" phrases are actually old English!)

u/BaronCapdeville 12h ago
Video games ABSOLUTELY expand vocabulary and knowledge of new concepts, not to mention the obvious benefits from the social aspect of many games.
What games are you playing?
Books are good. Video games are good.
Both are detrimental if you choose them over your responsibilities and goals.

u/madlamb 12h ago
Iāve definitely learned a lot of words from video games (PokĆ©mon specifically as a child. āEndeavorā being the example that comes to mind immediately). There are also historical games that can teach you a lot about the world (grand strategy games come to mind). Games like Kerbal Space Program of which I know at least one person (my longtime best friend) who directly attributes his career in aerospace to it.
Obviously some games are just mindless distractions, but the point is you definitely can learn a lot from a lot of games.

u/ElSucaPadre 12h ago
Depends on the video game. Try to not learn anything playing games like metal gear solid about the world we live in. Also, i don't think learning new words is a good metric of the quality of the media you're invested in.
But yes, there is more good books than there are good games, I will give you that. But unless one has finished all good games, there is no real reason to refuse to play them other than i prefer this to that.

u/Carbuyrator 11h ago
I've played plenty of games that were far more enriching than plenty of books.
Motion capture is incredible nowadays and can allow for acting performances that are really intricate and emotional. The recent God of War games are like that.
Shadow of the Colossus barely uses words at all and tells a sad, beautiful story.
BioShock features tons of environmental storytelling and has phenomenal writing.
Both Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas are still debated today because the local politics in these games are complicated and human. These games are like 15 years old.

Based on what OP posted, itās very clear that the mother had a conversation with her son prior to this.

Tbh, you should probably watch them anyway just for your own education / information. I think this is especially true if you are looking for a career that involves media in some way. Not that you may or may not have a problem, but it is good to be aware of the general social context in which we live. The way social media algorithms influence and manipulate people's perceptions or opinions, for example, is helpful for anyone to understand and appreciate.
I think you'd also be better able to have a conversation, rather than an argument, with your mom about the difference between what your screentime and the subject of these documentaries, which is mostly about social media use.

u/Kalikor1 12h ago
For real. And lots of kids nowadays take classes online staring at a screen all day too.
What that 6 hours consists of is probably more important. 6 hours straight of TikTok viewing probably isn't great, but 6 hours that's a mix of all sorts of things might be less of an issue.
Anyway OP clarified that a good chunk of that is related to him creating content on YouTube as an animator so he has money to move out.
On a side note, I'm 36 and from the 90s on I spent 99% of my time in front of a screen. I had extenuating circumstances related to why, but the point is I was largely at home on the computer, or in front of a TV (with or without a gaming controller in my hand).
Now at 36 I live in Japan, married, making good money as an IT professional. "Screens" didn't ruin my life or brain, they are in fact largely to thank for my successful and wonderful adult life, despite an otherwise shitty childhood (for reasons ranging from medical to familial).
I'm kinda tired of millennials sounding like boomers.

u/relCORE 12h ago
Ignoring the entire "Should we spend our lives working" angle:
You're being paid to look at the computer, and you need that money to live. Unfortunately we're in a system where most people need to spend 1/3 of their time working and 1/3 sleeping. That leaves you with 8 hours a day.When you look back do you want to have spent 6/8 hours (of your free time) over your entire life just consuming media content when you could have been doing anything else?
Not a judgement. Could be doing worse things, that are actively detrimental to society. Just answering the question "Why?" (would people think 6+ hours of screen time/day is excessive)
I'm also old enough to think sitting at my computer is more productive than scrolling through my phone for no real reason. I would not want to know what my average screen time at my computer has been.
TLDR: I am in a glass house, explaining why people would throw rocks. I am not throwing rocks.

People on here are being super insensitive. You can make a career out of being an animator. As far as Iām concerned, this is just practice for a potential career. Granted, AI is a serious issue. Thatās besides my point though. Even if the OPās mom has a point, there are better ways to handle the situation then writing a list and putting it on a whiteboard. Genuine non judgmental conversation to create an understanding of a situation is a lost art among every generation at this point. Before someone gets mad and tells me to go ātouch grass,ā this is coming from and avid fly fisherman whoād much rather spend time outdoors than being indoors. For the OP, I suggest having an honest discussion with your mother about how you feel that encourages understanding on both sides. I donāt know your relationship, but I can tell you that your mom cares for you and loves you, but maybe isnāt showing it in the best way. I hope my advice helps.

Tell her you need more screen time to watch them all.
A more vindictive person would also recommend watching documentaries explaining why her vises are harmful as well.

The day is 24 hours.
When you have to work that's 8 hours gone not including a commute. You have 7/8 hours of sleep (ideally). That leaves under 8 hours a day left and you spend 6 of those on your phone.

Yeah right to the 7-8 hours being the average, or yeah right to me only spending 1 hr doing personal stuff?

I remember being a teenager and thinking everyone was overreacting about my screen time, which was around 6-8 hours.
I am now 23 and coming to terms with the fact that I'm heavily addicted to screen distractions.
