When a user gets a like, a retweet, an emoticon notification, the brain receives a flood of dopamine and sends it along reward pathways.

Even apps like Goodreads and especially language learning apps (I am talking to you Duo lingo) rely on this Dopamine rush to bolster participation, of course driving up advertising rates.

Of course there is some rhyme to reason. Setting concrete goals has been proven effective. I want to lose 12 pounds by May 31st. However some days I want to learn a language on my terms.

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
