Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

The world is overflowing with talk of COVID-19, COVID-19, and COVID-19.

While I keep up with all kinds of information, I try not to get my news from TV.

Does everyone watch TV?

Generally, I don't watch TV, mainly because a lot of the content is intended for commercial purposes.

Well, that’s true of a lot of information on the internet these days, but it seems like there’s more information out there that isn’t as distorted as what you see on TV.

 

According to TV reports, the news is almost entirely negative.

That's because it's easier to capture people's attention that way, and it boosts the ratings.

Advertisements only make sense when they generate high ratings.

That's why sponsors are happy, too.

 

That's why negative information is always better than positive (reliable) information.

Suppose a morning talk show tomorrow announced, “The COVID-19 pandemic is practically over!”—people’s attention would instantly shift to something else.

To put it bluntly, people don't really focus on much more than one thing at a time.

And man, there are so many people who just don't find positive news interesting, lol.

The media tends to dig up even the shady goings-on that were taking place behind the scenes, even after a case has been closed.

Since that leads to business, in a sense, you could just say I'm doing my job—and that's that.

 

When you think about it, it’s more beneficial for me to just get the information I want to see or learn about for free on YouTube and other sites.

Well, since we tend to pick up only the information that suits us best, it’s important to get input from a variety of experts.

Well, above all, since you can watch and listen at double speed, it saves time.

 

Lately, I've been listening to Dr. Kunihiko Takeda's talks a lot because they're so interesting.

With news and stuff like that, there’s really no need to watch TV anymore, lol.

Well, it might be fine from an entertainment standpoint, but from an informational standpoint, it might not cut it anymore.

It's all changed to the Internet, hasn't it?

I guess the only things I've been using my TV for lately are Monster Hunter and FF7, lol (they're PS4 games).

 

Well, either way, it's important to review all the relevant information and use your own judgment to map out a solid plan.

Doing so eliminates the need to hesitate, so you can make decisions and judgments more quickly.

Let’s keep responding with the right mindset while constantly being bombarded with information!

 

See you later.
