A hundred years back when people didn’t have mobile phones, computers or television, the amount of information they would consume in their entire lifetime would be less than what most teenagers and adults consume in a single day today!
Our day is filled with WhatsApp chats, Instagram posts, You Tube videos, e-mails, streaming films, soap operas and sports telecasts. The information is consumed across three screens – mobile phones, computers and television.
You may ask what’s the big deal if we consume digital content for hours at end.
But Dr Manfred Spitzer, a German neuroscientist, says this excessive screen time is leading to brain fog or digital dementia. Our brains are finding it harder and harder to deal with this digital overload.

Imagine this: You’ve been caring for your loved one day in and day out, juggling their needs while trying to keep your life on track. You shop for groceries, prepare meals, pick up prescriptions, assist with bathing, and handle a hundred other tasks, all while trying to make life a little more comfortable for them. It’s exhausting, but you keep going because you care deeply. But over time, something changes. The stress builds, your energy wanes, and before you know it, you’re running on empty.
