- “Excuse me; I’m having a senior moment.” Make that a millennial moment. Millennials are more likely to forget what day it is or where their keys are than seniors, and tech is a main culprit.
- “Huh?” Hypertext links, ads, photos, and videos make information gleaned on tech far more difficult to absorb than from books. Poor concentration? Opt for paper – not plastic.
- “Are you dressed for a Walking Dead convention, or do you need some sleep?” Tech messes up your sleep cycle courtesy of blue-enriched screen illuminations which suppress melatonin, a key hormone in regulating your internal clock. Lack of sleep then further rots your brain – as above.
- “My inner compass is broken.” Relying on GPS reduces special memory, taking a toll on the hippocampus that can cause memory problems later in life.
- “Hello, I’m (YOUR NAME), and I’m a tech-aholic.” Tech addiction causes changes in the brain that mimics drug and alcohol dependence – abnormal brain development that cripples regions involved in attention, decision-making, and emotion.
