From screen fatigue to screen intrigue?

So I was talking to a friend of mine a while back, and the conversation went something like this:

Friend: “Ugh, after Zoom meetings all day, I’m really feeling the screen fatigue!”

Me: “Yikes! What are you going to do to relax tonight?”

Friend: “Chill and binge-watch Netflix.”

🤔

Did you ever wonder why some screens fatigue while other screens intrigue?

I think there’s a lot that distributed/virtual learning can learn from movies, and I shared some of my evolving thoughts in a session at MURAL Imagine.

I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on this too!
