For most, being quarantined means significantly more screen-time.
Whether you're using it productively or unproductively, you're likely consuming much more media than before.
That can be a double-edged sword. It has the potential to increase your understanding of events – but also increases the likelihood of echo chambers and the intake of misinformation (aka fake news).

Regardless of where you're consuming, it's important to manage what you're consuming, and how much you're consuming. You need to make sure you're using reliable resources and managing your time and energy. Too much can leave you worse off.
Sometimes, less is more.
