There are many, but the one thing they have in common is that we, as media viewers, want this flow to continue. This user need is evidenced in the technology and software itself. Instagram\u2019s explore page has the ability to go on exponentially. Twitter can be reloaded to show new tweets, and we often discuss the infinite scroll of TikTok. This constant flow of information, ideas, and media as a whole has created a sort of \u201canxiety about being out of sync,\u201d which is a fairly universal feeling similar to real life \u201cFOMO\u201d or \u201cfear of missing out.\u201d I think that social media has impacted this greatly, as we are now constantly presented with so many more people\u2019s experiences to compare to our own. This anxiety and need to be up to date pertains not only to social media, but also to more essential aspects of life, such as employment and academics, which are constantly updated through digital flows like apps, websites, or emails. Flow as an idea isn\u2019t inherently negative, but its constant nature can hinder human ability to relax and participate in leisure because of the incessant presence of potential stressors. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout my reading of this keyword I began to think of the types of flow we see on social media.
