Abstract

The topics presented in the article relate to the mechanisms used to design applications for mobile phones and websites in a way that maximizes the user's attention. This issue is important because these mechanisms can easily lead to all kinds of technological addictions. In addition, awareness of their existence may constitute the first step to a more sustainable use of new media.
