The Hidden Costs of Easy Living

• The Mindset Spot

Share episode

We've all fallen prey to the seduction of convenience—that one-click solution, that easy shortcut, that path of least resistance that promises to make life simpler. But what if our growing addiction to convenience is secretly undermining our potential?

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the hidden dangers of convenience culture. From artificial intelligence tools that handle our thinking to social media platforms that foster unrealistic expectations, we explore how the pursuit of ease can lead to dependency, stunted growth, and unfulfilled potential. 

"Great things never come from comfort zones," we remind listeners, challenging the false narrative that life should be easy. Throughout history and across cultures, meaningful achievement has always required struggle. The biblical parable of talents illustrates this perfectly—those who invested their gifts prospered, while the one who buried his talent (taking the convenient path) ultimately lost everything.

Social media exacerbates this problem by creating distorted perceptions of reality. When we see only the highlight reels of others' lives, we're led to believe success comes without significant effort. This comparison trap breeds discontent and can derail us from our authentic path. As we discuss, significance isn't measured in likes or followers but in meaningful impact, even if that impact reaches just one person.

So how do we strike the right balance? We offer practical strategies for discerning when convenience serves us versus when it hinders growth. We differentiate between jobs that pay the bills and work that fulfills our purpose—turning challenges into opportunities through disciplined effort. From small daily habits to larger commitments, building discipline creates the foundation for meaningful achievement.

Listen now to recalibrate your relationship with convenience and embrace the productive discomfort that leads to genuine growth. Your future self will thank you for the challenges you choose to face today.

Speaker 1:

Hello everyone, Welcome to the Mindset Sport. Today we have a very, very exciting topic for our conversation, which is the danger of relying too much on convenience. In short, the danger of convenience. Today, we know what is happening across the entire world Convenience sometimes makes us forget what is realistic, and convenience is something that is usually said is the enemy of progress. It is said that great things never come from comfort zones and therefore, don't watch the clock, Do what it does and keep going With that said, I am joined by my co-host, Daniel Afumbomunang Afu. What says you?

Speaker 2:

Well, I'm glad to be back. This is going to be a very interesting episode on the cost of convenience and, like we know, there are no shortcuts to the top and it is lonely at the top, as Asake says. So we're going to investigate how too much convenience can hinder our progress to eventually get to where we want to be.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely Very, very important perspective you're bringing in there. It is something that needs to be discussed, and it is said that the danger of convenience is an aspect that is quite, very, very important Because, let's face it, in a modern world today, convenience is everywhere, from fast food to instant messaging to engaging on TikTok and spending time just on social media. While convenience can make our lives easier, it can also break our lives. It can have negative effects on our growth and progress, and so let's dive into this topic and understand why it is critical and crucial to step out of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves. So the first question I would like what is convenience and why do people seek it in the first place? Afu.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's a very good way to start it. I think that convenience, long story short, it's just the easy way out. And although convenience, we love convenience, convenient stores, convenient ideas, convenience is obviously very good, but once it comes to a point where it becomes excessive, then it's not so good. And the reason why I think some people tend to move towards convenience, even though they shouldn't, is because it's easy, and not everything that's easy is the way that it's supposed to be. So, in order for us to move away from this, we must acknowledge when it's okay to be convenient and efficient, but when it's okay not to do that.

Speaker 1:

Lovely and very, very important aspect of who and what is very, very important that you brought up is that it's easier to be able to do these sort of things. So let me ask another question to you how do we reverse this?

Speaker 2:

yeah, I think the way for us to reverse this is through us just getting a critical understanding of convenience and the pros and cons and in a situation where the pros are convenience, the cons actually outweigh the pros. Then you can start to shift away from it. And an example of this convenience is good, like, let's say, you have a store near you and there's a store like 15 kilometers away, the convenient options to go to that store no one's disagreeing with that. But when it really matters for example, doing the convenient route, just going out instead of actually locking in the study if you have a test tomorrow, although it's not as convenient to study because it's hard work, it's a necessity. So we need to know when to pick convenience and when not to, because convenience on its own is not bad. It's just that when we apply to every scenario, then repercussions can occur very, very important point for those of you who are joining in.

Speaker 1:

Today we are discussing the danger of convenience and, as Apu have articulated, convenience refers to anything that makes tasks easier and more efficient. But people seek convenience because it saves time and effort, allowing them to focus on other activities. But the question then becomes does convenience have any danger? And therefore, how convenience can be dangerous?

Speaker 1:

From articulations already is that while convenience make us feel good at the moment, it also leads to laziness and dependency, and when we rely too much on convenient solutions, we miss out on opportunities to learn and grow. For instance, if we always use a calculator for simple mathematics, we might lose our ability to perform basic calculations. So even the fact that convenience leads to laziness and dependency, do you think that with the advent of artificial intelligence, with machine learning and all these robotics now that are doing things already for people and making life so convenient, life so convenient, are people going to lose the ability to operate like humans? And if so, has social media also contributed to this convenience that people will spend 10 hours on TikTok, forget to do the assignment, forget to cook, forget to wash their dresses, forget to read and forget to prepare for what could make their lives better?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I think with the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, like chat, different softwares, I think my perspective is slightly different. If you don't know how to do stuff before chat and before this AI, even with chat, you're still not going to know how to do it. Similarly, if you're bright before chat and you're bright before AI, you're still going to be bright. Even with chat, you're still not going to know how to do it. Similarly, if you're bright before chat and you're bright before AI, you're still going to be bright, even with chat. And the reason for this is that it's a software right, it picks up on what you put in. So if you don't know what to put into it, then you're not going to get any outcome.

Speaker 2:

So I think that the rise of AI, it's very good for us to help it, but when we start to abuse it too much, then it can definitely lead to us forgetting our original skills. But what I do think it comes down to the individual. If you're using it as a tool rather than it doing stuff for you, then there's absolutely no problem, but then, when it gets excessive, then that's when convenience starts to override common sense. And to answer your second question, I think that a lot of people they tend to go to the easier option. What we have to realize? Chat and other AI systems it's like Google, and Google has been a thing for over 10, 15 years and there's still some people to this day who still don't, who aren't the sharpest tool in the shed, even with all these resources. So the resources will always be here and there's no way for us to stop it. But what we can do is change our mindset to use it as a tool rather than use it as an end-all be-all.

Speaker 1:

Very good point. There is a very false narrative that keeps getting repeated in all facets of society, in areas different, in different communities, in different regions and even across the world, that life is supposed to be easy. That is an assumption. Historically and even biblically. There has never been any time that life was easier. If you look at the parable of the talent in Bible, in Matthew, those who were given, the master gave to the servants money, and those who used their money very well got that money multiplied, and the one who took the gift and buried it ended up in prison. Do you think that a narrative of convenience is being misconstrued and is misleading people and, if so, how can we reverse this to make sure that we speak truth to the realities rather than driving a false narrative that makes people happier but continuously feral down a wrong pathway?

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So thanks for the question.

Speaker 2:

This one's really important because, with the rise of social media, I do think that it's uh, the narrative of convenience is being misconstrued, and I think it all comes down to the way that people portray themselves and on social media and it links back to digital footprint and media literacy, which we we never fail to talk about on this show.

Speaker 2:

So, to elaborate, I think that because of this, narrative is being construed that, oh, I'm doing X Y, z, I'm doing this course, in two weeks, I'm able to afford this, I'm building generational wealth, which it could be true, but most of the time, like it's just, people forget that social media it's just an enhancement of real life and a lot of people, once they fall into the trap, they see that they think that because this person quote unquote use convenience, so can I. But the reality is, the chance of that person using convenience is not, as it's probably not, true and it's just a portrayal of, uh, soft life on social media, which is what? Because everyone wants to portray the best parts of themselves. Life on social media, which is what? Because everyone wants to portray the best parts of themselves on the internet. But people forget that social media isn't always true, and we should be more diligent while doing our research to look into things.

Speaker 1:

I think that that takes us very easily to the part that the false narrative of credit. So it is the same attitude that when you go to school, finish with a degree, you are supposed to be given a job. But the reality is that government cannot create jobs for everybody. A degree is supposed to help you to read, is to help you to understand concepts, is to help you to innovate, and if one cannot innovate, even in the job, he or she will not perform outstandingly. But the point therefore becomes do you think the narrative of reality is being misconstrued to fit to the narrative of convenience and therefore further misleading people to think that it is easy elsewhere? It is easy elsewhere Because, as we're speaking now, a young person in Frunkankang or in Bishon, Mabo, etc. Is thinking it is easy in Europe or in Canada or in America, whereas those who are there know that it works around the clock. Do you think truth is not spoken to the realities of our time?

Speaker 2:

Well, I think that what we have to realize is that a lot of people fail to look at social media for what it is, which is just where people depict the best version of themselves. There's nothing wrong with that, but what we have to do as individuals is tune ourselves and educate ourselves on social media, and educate ourselves to know that whatever we see isn't always the true picture. With this being said, we need to start being more transparent so that other people don't fall into low self-esteem and eventually, mental health, because they're seeing it will not be successful and thinking why isn't it me? But nine times out of 10, there's more to the story than what you see on the Instagram story.

Speaker 1:

Perfect, good point. And if we look at the reality of balancing convenience and effort, it seems to not actually follow how we're supposed to do this. Because if you take, for example, the mindset of thinking, things are supposed to be easy, it's not true. There has never been anything that is easy no effort, no success, no pain, no gain and therefore, if we don't then put effort, then we're going to go nowhere. Over to you for questions yeah, of course.

Speaker 2:

So, uh, what do you have to say regarding the cost of convenience? What would you say to young people who are going on social media? They're seeing everyone live their best life and you're wondering. They're wondering why isn't it them? They're doing, they're working hard, they're going to school, they're doing extracurriculars, they're doing, they're working hard, they're going to school, they're doing extracurricular, they're doing innovative volunteerism, but why aren't they living quote unquote the life? What would you say to people who are getting discouraged because of social media?

Speaker 1:

The reality is that if you want to live a life based on perception, then definitely you are going to struggle all your life. Life is not about perceiving what is happening. It's about doing what needs to be done by you. So the question then becomes if you want to compare yourself with others, then you will always feel you lack everything, whereas those you are comparing with are in some way also admiring you because of what you've achieved. But you who have achieved it in terms of education, in terms of helping others in the community to learn something or to turn words to brackets, or teaching others geography, physics they are admiring you, but then you are admiring them and they are admiring you, and sometimes they have something that they do not even have. It might be borrowed or loan, and therefore, firstly, we need to be contented and know that to become better in whatever thing we do, we need to focus, dedicate our efforts and be focused and passionate at the same time, patient and therefore, for the young people who do not want to do anything and want to rise to the top very quickly, it's not as easy. You climb a ladder, rung by rung, and there is an aspect that I always say those who jump up, come down very fast. The law of gravity. You're a physics student, but those who grow up stay up. Somebody who grows gradually and becomes tall at the age of 10, 15, 20, stays taller, but if you are three, four years and you jump up and you want to be tall, you will come back down very quickly. It therefore means we cannot live a life of comparison, but should instead live a life of compassion. We should never, ever live a life of thinking that we can be able to focus on problems, but we should instead live a life of focusing on possibilities. And so your answer is very simple.

Speaker 1:

The answer to your question is very simple. We must play our part and do our best and do not focus. We don't have to focus on what is not ours, and don't think that anything that you see is realistic. The world is a virtual world. An optic sometimes may present a picture that has never happened, but yet mislead people to think that they are behind whereas they're actually ahead. And always remember, when you admire people, they are also admiring you, and you might never know until you keep going, and one day they will tell you do you know that you are my role model Over?

Speaker 2:

Excellent excellent, excellent, excellent. That was such a great answer and you mentioned something on perception which I want to tap into, and my follow-up question to that is perception. How do we because optimism is a big thing in this when things get hard, optimism is what pushes us forward. So how can we start to perceive the glass as half full rather than half empty? Because, especially people who are on their academic journeys, it's exam season, things are tough. What can you say to people who are want to give up? And if they, and if you think that there are solutions, give us strategies so that we know how to persevere without over relying on convenience very, very good question.

Speaker 1:

As always, you are a star of this show and as a host of this show, Wow, I got promoted. Yes, and you will keep getting promoted, so the easiest way to answer that if it were easy, everybody would be doing it.

Speaker 1:

Then why would we even be going to school to learn solutions? For the world was never created as an easy place. That is why generation after generation has always come and solved problems. It was a typewriter until when a computer came, it was fax machine. Until when email came, it was Nokia 333. We used to call it Kumba Bread, big like a radio. You carry it on your back like this. Today it is iPhone, it is Samsung 16, samsung Ultra 23, s24, iphone 14, 15, 16, 17.

Speaker 1:

So the answer is that there have always been evolution as a result of effort that people put into innovate, and therefore every succeeding generation has always carried on their shoulders the responsibility to do right, to innovate and to work extra hard to make sure that the problems that were not solved by the preceding generation can be solved by the existing generation.

Speaker 1:

And therefore, to answer your question, it is very, very important to understand that life is not a place of ease. It's a place where we monster courage, where we monster dedication, where we leverage passion to know that without that, we cannot be able to turn challenges to opportunities, and so we must put in the effort to endure short-term pain. If you are not enduring pain, you are only postponing your problems and the difficulties into the future. If you are enduring pain now, you are then preparing a future where you will enjoy. I never forget this African proverb An old man who still wakes up in the morning and goes to work meant he slept during his younger years. It means if you do not label during your younger age, you will label at your older age.

Speaker 2:

Excellent, excellent, excellent. And I like how you mentioned that about the older man who still goes to work, because, when we really look at it, without within time, we're going to work at some point. And would you rather work now, when you're physically able to and it's the time to work, or would you rather have your mates be on a yacht at 60 retiring while you're still doing the work, not because you want to, but because you didn't do it when you're supposed to? And uh, on my last question, before we switch gears, is what would you say to this influx of digital footprint and people, not necessarily digital footprint, but people trying to flex for the gram and people trying we talked about this last time clout chase, and do you think this affects convenience? And if it does, how can you people, what would you say to people who are getting trapped in this clout chasing run?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, very, very important. The reality is that I've spent a lot of my time in my writing to guide young people, whom I'm very passionate about, to make them understand that it is not in being popular for wrong reasons or popularity with that substance that makes you stand out. What makes you stand out is not a number of likes or clicks or reforwards or retweets or shares. What makes you stand out is your uniqueness, and what you will notice is that when you are doing right and doing something very, very important and sophisticated to turn challenges to opportunity, people will not understand and you may never even have up to 100 likes. That's not a problem. The society we are in today is a society in which negative news seems to carry the flame faster than positive news. That's how the world is. But what I've always tell young people is that significance is not in numbers, significance is in importance, and importance that can be able to touch a life. So if you are able to do something that can touch one life and somebody does something that can imperil 100 lives and get the headlines, continue to do that which touch lives, because it's just a matter of time and you will be known and I said it using myself as a very practical example. When I was volunteering, my colleagues were laughing at me that, oh, you are volunteering without pay, but that volunteerism alone gave me the experience to be able to win a scholarship to study at Nottingham University and later on finish a PhD and later on join to work as an environmental scientist for the globe.

Speaker 1:

But the point I am making is that when we live with the thinking that we need to chase cloud and for others to like us in virtual space, then we're actually misleading ourselves, because virtual space is not a person.

Speaker 1:

People sit behind their computers, a logredims, carry what they say. You don't even meet the people and maybe in real life those people are actually doing different things when they come and mislead you on social media and you focus their spending your time whereas they're progressing in other domains. So to answer your question, is anybody who feels bad or who feels that he or she is behind because he's seeing others with more likes and more interactions on social media with so many followers is actually misleading his or herself, because the virtual space means nothing. Actually, sometimes don't even go to the virtual space if you don't have anything substantive to offer. Focus on explaining what you like whether people click it or not. It doesn't matter that you are also creating a portfolio for yourself, because anybody who will employ you in future or even want to create acquaintances, will go online and click and your name will come up.

Speaker 2:

And if it only comes up with negative things you've been sharing for light, definitely you are going to be in a place that will only cause you trouble and that is why the digital footprint conversation is always important excellent, excellent, excellent, and I think that you brought up a really good point, because a lot of people think likes are synonymous with impact, which, although it can be true sometimes, most of the time, let's say, you're posting something really impactful and only gets two likes, that's okay, because at least the two people who liked it learned something, rather than you posting something bad and getting a hundred thousand likes. Then on the internet in the next few years, people will know you as that shady hater rather than that innovator. So do you? Let's move on to the topic, and do you have anything else you'd like to share and ask before we call it wraps?

Speaker 1:

yeah, for those who are watching, please, thank you. We are discussing the danger of convenience and please, if you can share and ask questions and share ideas, that would would be very, very important. Yes, afu, as we are talking this is not so, if you've noticed is if we were talking about gossip or talking about something that was very negative. We have about 1,000 plus people who will be watching this, and what does that tell you? If we were here chasing cloud, then we would be using those topics, but that is not going to ever add any value to society.

Speaker 1:

The society we have today is one in which new knowledge is missing, guidance is missing, structural guidance, mentorship is missing, and therefore to shape society to come to where it ought to be needs a lot of effort and dedication. And that's why we come to this mindset sport to discuss what can shape and reshape people's minds, to think right and do right. But I want to ask you this what is your experience, after we've been running this for almost two years now, that you can confidently say that you've observed about people's behaviors that have changed as a result of what we do here?

Speaker 2:

yeah, so I think that I it's been a long time since we've started this show and I'd say I've been doing this since I like regularly, frequently, since, like grade nine, so it's been almost, uh, a year and a half, but I've been doing interviews with you since I was like 10, so it's almost been six years since I've done this interview, uh, but it's to move more into podcasts, but that's not the point.

Speaker 2:

The point is that what I've realized is the way people's mindsets have slowly shifted, because at first people, the comments that we'd get on here would be more like, uh, more asking, more begging, more, uh, sob story and um. But the more we do this, the more people we've attracted, the more regular viewers we have attracted who come here to learn and don't come here to beg. And what we've learned, um, what I've learned especially, is that we learn so much from you too, by you guys sharing your experiences, by you guys sharing how these mechanisms have changed your life, and by you sharing your stories and sharing your insights. We learn every day too, and I learned that through this. In a nutshell, we all have strengths and we all have ideas, and when we come together to innovate solutions, then we have a beautiful mosaic of solutions, which is what we are trying to prove and what we're trying to portray each and every session.

Speaker 1:

Very, very important, amazing inputs. Now let's get to this last part embracing effort for long-term benefit. Do you really think that people can embrace any effort over convenience with the way the world is? Where people are lazy, people just want to have what they want without necessarily having to spend and spare any effort in doing something. So if you were to take, for example, the practical aspect in sports, practicing regularly and pushing through tough training sessions lead to improved performance and skill development, and this effort pays off in the long run, much more than taking shortcuts or relying solely on talent. Now, are people willing to endure short-term pain for long-term gain? Do you really think this is what they want to do? And that is why they will not want to hear this kind of conversation, because it ushers them to work yeah.

Speaker 2:

So I'd like to begin with, um, this quote. It's, uh, talent. So everyone has the dilemma between talent and hard work and, uh, the saying is, hard work always wins when talent doesn't work hard. And what? What we have to realize is that, for example, let's just use the soccer player, kylian Mbappe. He obviously has a lot of talent, he's very talented, but he still goes on the field every single day, he's training, and he wouldn't be as successful as he is today without his training, although he is naturally skilled, naturally athletic, and this relates to every single aspect of life. For example, you can be really smart but still not score hundreds, but someone else who is not naturally as smart scoring those grades, because talent won't always take you to the highest level. Talent will take you somewhere, obviously, but to that number one spot. There has to be some hard work in there as well.

Speaker 2:

So, to answer your question, I think that short-term pain over long-term gain is something that a lot of people are moving towards because, like I said previously, social media, the lack of transparency but at the end of the day, we have to realize it comes down to ourselves and we need to realize that social media is not always the depiction of it is not always 100% genuine is 100% genuine. And once we realize that, then I believe that the short-term pain, long-term gain formula everyone will start to move towards that mechanism because we'll realize that if we don't do it, who's going to do it right? So only we can grow ourselves and only we can train ourselves. No one's going to put a gun to your head to say go study. No one's going to put a gun to your head to say go to practice. No one's going to put a gun to your head to say go study. No one's gonna put a gun to your head to say go to practice. No one's gonna put a gun to your head to say go to work.

Speaker 2:

So that comes down to and the people who are achieving these things like I said last time, they don't have six fingers, they don't have 11 toes, they don't have three legs, they are just people who are disciplined. So once we choose to tap into that discipline, then we can move away from relying too much on convenience and move towards building our future and move towards short-term paying for long-term gain, because at the end of the day, we're it's not like we're gonna die tomorrow. We're gonna live long, and if we're gonna look back and see what we did before and if we did before it was nothing then we're gonna work then. But we need to focus on the future rather than focusing solely on the present.

Speaker 1:

I love that we need to focus on the future rather than focusing solely on the present. And that takes me to this point, as we run up the difference between work and a job. Work is supposed to be what we do to have self-fulfillment. A job is what you do that pays you, but we're always confused between these two, because each and every one of us is created for a purpose, and the purpose of life is to be useful, and usefulness in the context of our world and Africa today is to turn challenges into opportunities that you get up in the morning. You see that waste in your vicinity. You carry it, you learn how to turn that waste into fuel briquettes, into baggers, you learn how to sew apparel from sustainable material or from waste so that it doesn't end up in our open environment and our waterways and choke and clog our waterways, resulting to flooding and mosquitoes to come as a result of waste that has been dumped somewhere, that block and causes waterways to not be able to allow water to go through. The point I'm bringing this up, therefore, is each and every one of us, regardless, is supposed to do something that we are passionate about in solving problems, not in causing problems, and that is work, not in causing problems, and that is work. And therefore, if we are not doing anything out of our jobs that benefits humanity, then definitely we're missing out on wasting our talents and our abilities.

Speaker 1:

I just thought I should bring that up because to do that convenience cannot be part of it, because the young people who are listening and the parents who are listening may be asking the question how can we encourage ourselves and others to put in effort?

Speaker 1:

The answer is simple Do what you can do to turn a challenge into an opportunity. Set goals and celebrate small achievements and remind yourself always of the long-term benefit of your effort and therefore encouraging a mindset shift, and we always talk about this mindset the mindset shift from seeking immediate gratification to valuing the process and the journey, which is very, very critical. And therefore parents can encourage their children to be able to participate in household kiosks or household activities and extracurricular activities that require effort and dedication. Watch plates, fix your bed right. This teaches them the value of hard work and persistence from an early age, because if you pretend to think that everything is jolly jolly, as they say in Pidgin English, then they'll grow up with a mindset that is easy, whereas ease is the biggest threat to progress over to ufo as we run up excellent, excellent, excellent and uh.

Speaker 2:

What I'd like to say is everything you've said here is 100 correct and, for example, work versus job. Like you work, your job is an environmental scientist and your work is very similar to that, but, for example, you can be a teacher by profession but be very passionate about health advocacy. Or you can be an accountant and be very passionate about finance. For example, I'm technically employed at McDonald's, but that's not my job right. My job right here is showing you guys and displaying the way that we can leverage ourselves to create solutions.

Speaker 2:

And just because, like I want to mention, what you study isn't synonymous to the impact that you're creating the world. For you to be a climate activist doesn't necessarily mean you have to study climate studies. For you to be a health advocate doesn't mean you need to study medicine. For you to be a gender advocate doesn't mean you have to study sociology. What it comes down to, what impact you'd like to make, and you can do that, even if it's different from your job, as long as you have the discipline. And discipline is something that comes up in all of our episodes, because once you develop that discipline whether it's from making your bed, whether it's from going on runs in the morning, whether it's, for example, with us. It's early where I am, but I'm still choosing to get up, and the show must go on. So by us developing discipline and by us changing our mindset, we will be able to stop the ease and use convenience only when it's necessary and not solely rely on it. Because once we solely rely on convenience, then our own great ideas get obscured.

Speaker 1:

Very important Stop the ease, stop the comfort and get down to work, which is very, very important.

Speaker 2:

Ask the ease, stop the comfort.

Speaker 1:

Stop the comfort and get down to work and know that this comfort is a sign of growth. You know anywhere you are.

Speaker 2:

Like every single entrepreneur, every single billionaire. Everyone can tell you that in order for us to get it done, we must step outside of our comfort zone. And as we continue to get stuff done, that uncomfort will slowly turn into comfort. It may be uncomfortable staying up late to study, but you'll be comfortable when you finish that degree and you're living out your best life.

Speaker 1:

So I love that amazing and when faced with a difficult task, always remind yourself that overcoming it will make you stronger. And therefore, please, wherever you are as we conclude this, and continue to engage, and you can watch this even after we conclude it now know that convenience can make your life easier, but it's important to be aware of its potential dangers, as we've discussed today. To be aware of its potential dangers, as we've discussed today.
