 5 Crazy Ways Social Media Is Changing Your Brain Right Now

Author : Anushri Thakur

Hey ,
With social media sites being used by one third of the entire world, they've clearly had an major influence on the society. But what about our bodies? Here are 5 crazy ways that social media and the internet are affecting you brain right now. Can't load off? Surprisingly, 5-10 percentage of internet user are actually unable to control how much time they spend online. Though it's a psychological addiction as opposed to a substance addiction, brain scans of these people actually show a similar impairment of region that those with drug dependence have. Specifically, there is a clear degradation of white matter in the region that control emotional processing, attention and decision making because social media provides immediate rewards with very little efforts required, your brain begins to rewire itself, making you desire these stimulations. And you begin to crave more of this .Neurological excitement after each interaction. We also see a shift when looking a multi-tasking. You might think that those who use social media or constantly switch between work and websites are better at multitasking, but studies have found that when comparing heavy media users to other, they perform much worse during task switching tests. Increase multi-tasking online reduces your brain ability to filter out interferences, and can even make it harder for your brain to commit information to memory. Like when your phone buzzes in the middle of productive work. Or wait... did it even buzz? Phantom Vibration Syndrome is a relatively new psychological phenomenon where you think you felt your phone go off, but it didn't. In one study, 89 percentage of test subjects said they experience this at least once every two. It would seem that our brains now perceive an itch as an actual vibration from our phone. As crazy as it seems, technology has began to rewire our nervous system -and our brain are being triggered in a way they never have been before in history. So I request you to balance you social media life and your physical life the same.

this is what I wanted to tell you for today. If you enjoyed and learned something new today please give it a big thumps up. see you all next time byeeeeeee

Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA

  Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA Do you wish you could return to moments from your past? Yes, I wish I could return memories from your past as those were the days. Many people say that growing up is the best part of life. But I disagree. Growing up means a smaller margin for errors, a necessity for seriousness and I just dislike all of those. The only positive about growing up Is total freedom. No one to stop from chasing your dreams except you yourself. But then you need to mature and grow responsible, along with still obeying everyone; that is an expectation that others have of you. Meanwhile when you are a child; a chick whose egg has just cracked, your mistakes are turned into a laughingstock and your naughtiness are converted into a chance to snuggle into your mother’s safe hands. I tell you those were the days. I sometimes feel as if I would give everything I have, even if it means my life to go back in time. Sometimes I feel if only everyone...

The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI

  The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI "It started a few years ago. I was thirsty for blood. I had developed a taste for human meat and skin. My first victim, Officer Black, was my gardener. One fine day, he came at sharp 6 in the morning, as always, and watered my precious garden generously. At 7, he came in, and requested me to give him a glass of water. I went into the kitchen, alright, but a glass of water wasn't the only thing I took. As Frank the gardener gulped down his glass, my hand rose behind him and a long, sharp knife came into view.

You see, I am an old lady. I get lonely sitting alone in the small of these four walls. My cannibalism always seems to overwhelm me. My second victim, was old Mrs. Thomas from across the street. Poor lady, I tell you Officer Black. Always cares for me, y...
