It’s not just you...
Lots of young people are complaining of poor memory, decreased cognitive skill and other symptoms associated with old age or dementia. Experts are calling it digital dementia and say those of us who rely too heavily on technology are at risk. They say some teenagers are so plugged in that they actually forget everyday details such as their own phone number.
Although we’re all prone to digital dementia, children and young adults are at extra risk, as their brains are still developing. Experts warn that heavy users are likely to develop the left side of their brains, leaving the right side untapped or underdeveloped. Digital overload is also linked with emotional underdevelopment in young brains.
