Question

How does technology affect our brain?

Answer 1

Technology has altered human physiology. It makes us think differently, feel differently, even dream differently. It affects our memory, attention spans and sleep cycles. This is attributed to a scientific phenomenon known as neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to alter its behavior based on new experiences

Answer 2

Answer:

Technology affects our memory, our attention, what we focus on and our sleep cycles.

In particular, our sleep cycles are affected by bright light from screens tricking our brain into thinking it is still daylight causing sleep difficulties and that can affect our wellbeing.

We are in an era where we have outsourced our memory to Google, GPS, calendar alerts and calculators. But perhaps it's not about remembering the facts you have and more about how you use the information that matters.
