Millennials are more likely to forget what day it is or where their keys are than seniors, and tech is a main culprit. \u201cHuh?\u201d Hypertext links, ads, photos, and videos make information gleaned on tech far more difficult to absorb than from books. Poor concentration? Opt for paper \u2013 not plastic. \u201cAre you dressed for a Walking Dead convention, or do you need some sleep?\u201d 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 \u2013 as above. \u201cMy inner compass is broken.\u201d Relying on GPS reduces special memory, taking a toll on the hippocampus that can cause memory problems later in life. \u201cHello, I\u2019m (YOUR NAME), and I\u2019m a tech-aholic.\u201d Tech addiction causes changes in the brain that mimics drug and alcohol dependence \u2013 abnormal brain development that cripples regions involved in attention, decision-making, and emotion. Do you fear that technology may be making you unintelligent? Embrace your inner Einstein and use tech wisely with help of McCord Web Services!"}
