Dopamine
My take on Wix Playoff: Glitch Design.
"If you check your phone throughout the day, or reach for it the moment you hear it ring, you might be surprised by the impact a simple notification can have on your brain. Whether you hear it or see it, the alert can trigger a whole host of emotions, chemical reactions, and resulting side effects. And that includes everything from stress and anxiety, to excitement, and even feelings of addiction.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with feeling excited about a text, checking for emails, or responding to notifications on social media. But it's important to also check in with yourself, to make sure all these alerts aren't doing more harm than good."
