Story
How many times have you checked your phone today? Why are messaging apps, email and social media so hard to resist? How come we always end up watching another episode? In recent years, media and technology have perfected the lucrative art of gaining and holding our attention. This extraordinary feat has changed the behaviour of billions of people, and especially the young: by current medical standards, we are experiencing an unprecedented global pandemic of addiction.

Story
Why are people named Kim, Kelly, and Ken more likely to donate to Hurricane Katrina victims than to Hurricane Rita victims? Are you really more likely to solve puzzles if you watch a light bulb illuminate? How did installing blue lights along a Japanese railway line halt rising crime and suicide rates? Can decorating your walls with the right artwork make you more honest? The human brain is fantastically complex, having engineered space travel and liberated nuclear energy, so it's no wonder that we resist the idea that we're deeply influenced by our surroundings.

Story
Etwa die Hälfte der westlichen Bevölkerung ist nach mindestens einer Verhaltensweise süchtig. Wie unter Zwang hängen wir an unseren E-Mails, Instagram-Likes und Facebook-Posts; wir schießen uns mit Fernsehserien ins Koma, können das Online-Shoppen nicht lassen, arbeiten jedes Jahr noch ein paar Stunden länger an unseren Computern; wir starren im Schnitt drei Stunden am Tag auf unsere Smartphones. Ein Grund dafür liegt im suchterzeugenden Design dieser Technologien.
