Digital Side Effects. When Computers Think For Us
Description
Featuring psychologists, scientists, and professors from all over the globe, this documentary synthesizes theories, psychiatric evaluations, and quantitative evidence from studies on the brain that indicate a serious global epidemic of digital addiction. The ubiquitous nature of the Internet in developed countries as well as the surge of smartphone use over the last few years has had a significant effect on the brain, often becoming a full-blown addiction. This addiction is directly correlated to dementia-like symptoms and a balance is needed to ensure healthy brain functioning into old age. Learn about the risks of this new digital age as well as strategies to remedy the negative effects that are already visible.
