In today's digital age, we find ourselves inundated with a relentless stream of information—a phenomenon that Walter Sullivan aptly termed "information explosion" back in the 1960s. Fast forward to today, and the pace at which we receive, and process information has accelerated at an unprecedented rate. It’s hard to remember a time when we weren’t bombarded by news, social media updates, and glimpses into the lives of others. This constant influx has blurred the lines between public and private life, leaving us in an era where privacy feels almost obsolete.
Consider how many times you’ve checked your smartphone within the first few minutes of waking up. According to research from the International Data Corporation, a staggering 80% of people do just that. This immediate engagement with our devices sets the tone for a day filled with notifications, alerts, and an overwhelming amount of content to sift through.
The consequences of this information overload are profound. Many of us experience cognitive overload, holding constant complexities in our heads and struggling to process and retain the sheer volume of information that bombards us daily. This constant barrage can lead to heightened stress and anxiety, as we grapple with feelings of inadequacy when comparing our lives to the curated highlights we see online. (Yes, I myself struggle with this too). Our productivity often suffers as well; frequent distractions hinder our ability to focus on tasks at hand. Moreover, our social dynamics have shifted dramatically; interactions that once took place face-to-face are now mediated through screens, altering how we connect with one another. Yes, some people do claim this to be progressive, but to what degree?
At Rethinkly, we understand these challenges and aim to provide a solution. The first perception you have of us may make you question us due to our 'strange' appearance. The point is not the looks of it, but what it can bring you. Why should we overcomplicate our avatars, their surroundings if we already live in such a complex world? We want to take you out of that, and bring you simplicity, clarity, and freedom to create your reality. You have a chance to remove yourself from this chaotic world.
