This article serves as a reminder to examine just how much time I've been spending on the screen. Even when it's justifiable (work-related), I'm often pulled down a series of rabbit holes and have wondered how many synapses in my brain are firing (or suffering) because of the onslaught. As mentioned, intentionality is key. Thanks for the thought-provoking insights!
Too true, Cyd! If you haven't read Nicholas Carr's book, The Shallows, yet, I highly recommend it. He dives into the science of what the internet does to our brains, and it's both fascinating and terrifying. Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation is a good one, too.
