The internet is blamed on our brain power sense
The internet must be used in a more disciplined manner.
We should be exercising our self-control, and not our "rewards center".
Being connected with one another doesn't have to turn into an addiction.
There is a lot of research being done on how the internet is affecting our brains.
There are some major findings that we need to be aware of, one of them being that it can change our brain architecture. Our brains have this amazing ability to learn new things and create new connections in the brain based on what we do and experience. Our brains can even rewire themselves when we are not using them in a certain way. What's happening with the internet, is that it's constantly stimulating every part of your brain, making you addicted to checking your phone every 15 minutes or so. This constant stimulation causes your brain to shut down production for other parts at a time and this has consequences like forgetting things more easily or being more impulsive.
The internet also changes how people think about knowledge which leads to the idea that knowledge is something you find online rather than something you learn from reading books or listening to lectures from teachers and professors in school. This means there’s less curiosity
Research conducted by psychologists and neuroscientists has found that the internet has caused a bigger impact on our brains than we think.
There is a lot of information being put in front of us through the internet every day. We need to be aware of the effects that it can have on our brains and self-worth. This is why it is important to slow down and take breaks.
The internet has been affecting us more than we think because it is causing overstimulation within our system. Some psychologists call this effect Type 1 diabetes of the brain since there is a lack of balance being produced which leads to diabetes or other diseases in general.
