I want you to not change anything but cut the whole paragrah into two paragraphs: how do i cut this long paragrpah into two paragraphs: Our observations of how people react to movie delays suggest that advances in technology particularly in streaming services, have fostered this desire to have everything under a viewer’s control due to the ease and comfort they provide. This could imply that such technology, especially technology regarding streaming services contributes to laziness among users using said streaming service. As laziness consumes a person, they become less engaged and more tuned out of reality, these can all contribute to a lack of focus when observing a piece of art. Here’s a 17-year-old student, named Jaeden, who is a friend from English, as gives his response to a question regarding how long he spent on streaming services during Covid and whether that made him feel lazy. “I would watch like an hour and a half per day, maybe two, I was mostly playing game. And did you think watching TV on it, made you a little bit lazy? 100%”(J. Barrera personal communication, May 23-24, 2024). As we know the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 was a tough time for many, but it also opened up a big window of opportunity for down-time as everyone was cooped up in their homes, not allowed to go anywhere. In this instance, people used their time in various ways, Jaeden being an example of one who used it to play video games, chill, and watch TV. However, he mentions that he only would watch for an hour to two on some services, though still with full confidence says that it did make him lazy, 100% in fact. Proving the point that streaming services are steering us in a direction of laziness even if we are watching a lot or even for a very limited amount of time. In addition to this, a study conducted by Talker Research to see on average how long people spend streaming media estimates, "The insights are based on a survey targeting 2,000 American streaming media users who engage with content for at least an hour daily. On average, people are spending three hours streaming media per day" (Inside Nova, 2024). From this, we can conclude that streaming media affects us especially, how we use our time. It causes us to waste it and fill it up with more time spent watching movies and shows, allowing us to not do extra work but rather be consumed with the act of just vegetating rather than getting up and moving. As this act continues, we become more lazy. Though streaming services contribute to laziness, could these services lead to a source of relief, specifically could the increased time be seen as a means of maintaining connections and mental well-being rather than fostering laziness? Yes, these services do provide a source of relief, however, would they provide a source of mental stability? Most likely not, as mental well-being is defined from the Center for Diease control(CDC) as, “Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act” (Central for Diease Control, 2024). As we invest more and more time into streaming services, we are more tuned out from reality, it provides us with the satisfaction of feeling nice and not having to worry about the daily activities we need to accomplish but only temporarily because the viewer has pushed these activities to the side for a couple hours of these services’ content. Therefore if we continue down this road of watching movie after movie, not only will we become lazy since we will want more of it but it provides us with a tempraray stress relief, a stress reliever that will only come back and come back stronger because now you have less time to do said activities, building up more mental unwell-being. Furthermore, if we continue down this path of laziness when using streaming services more and more as a way to just relax and take a breather, the less we try to understand what the art is conveying and just practicing lazy behavior, the more skewed we become when evaluating a piece of art.
