Your Brain Can’t Function Well on Social Media
Did you come across this link on social media? Both good and terrible news are available. The good news is that you're learning while being entertained. Isn't that wonderful? Unfortunately, social media is damaging your brain.
The average person spends more than two and a half hours every day on social media, according to study. This alters how your brain receives information and causes you to experience variable-ratio reinforcement, in which you continually hope to see fresh information and are gratified when you are successful. As a result, you find it difficult to concentrate on one item for an extended amount of time and become quickly distracted.
People who use social media frequently score worse on cognitive exams. They have to make an effort to concentrate on one task at a time. Even worse, social media has a similar impact on your brain as drugs do. It can cause cravings and addiction.
