My lizard brain is no match for infinite scroll

Nothing to do with age, I'm afraid - I'm over 40, and far more scattered and subject to the lure of the endless internet than when I was 20. In my personal situation, my best hope is that it is mommy brain, and that I'll outgrow it as my kid gets further from infancy.

I'm a couple of years short of 40 and feel the same. But these infinite feeds simply didn't exist, or at least weren't nearly as prevalent and well tuned to hijack human psychology, when we were 20.

I remember downloading and picking over the content of newsgroups in my mid-late teens and before that endlessly rolling through different TV stations.

My mind has always craved the distraction of the infinite scroll, it's just modern social media has perfected it.

That's true. To really waste time on the internet, you had to go Googling or hit Slashdot.
