010 - Instant Gratification: What Is It and Why Is It Causing You so Many Problems?
Instant gratification is probably the number 1 drug of the modern generation. You really can't escape it. With smartphones always within arms reach, and an unlimited number of worlds ready to be explored at home or on the move, it's no wonder a human's attention span is now less than a Goldfish. The problem with instant gratification, or a lack of delayed gratification, is that once you become accustomed to it you'll stop finding enjoyment in other activities. This is why it's so hard for gamers to move on and pick up new hobbies. They expect to get rewarded straight away, instead of doing the normal thing and building up progress over time. Learn what instant gratification is all about in this episode of Gaming the System. Brought to you by Game Quitters. As always thanks for listening.
