The Silent Chains of the Digital Age | Giang Hoang Hoa Tue | TEDxGreenwich University Hanoi

Notifications control more of our lives than we realize. They interrupt our focus, shape our habits, and keep us constantly distracted. This talk exposes how notifications are designed to hook us, why they’re so addictive, and the hidden costs to our productivity and mental health. Most importantly, it offers simple, practical steps to take back control—so we can focus on what truly matters.
