ten ways technology is changing you for
the worst we all know the many benefits
of modern technology but it is not
without its negative effects
particularly when it comes to the
technology we use on a daily basis it
can change our habits our personalities
and more in surprising ways candy echo

warning that work dot com one would
think that social media would be an
effective kill for bridging divides
between differing viewpoints but this
does not necessarily appear to be the
case for example Facebook's algorithms
tend to push users toward content which
lines up with their interests which is
understandable and their existing
viewpoints which is troublesome as a
result users of social media must go out
of their way to seek out different views
from their own and most do not
disrespect serves to worsen / ensuring
that groups on different sides of an
issue are having completely different
conversations interactions between the
sides usually only comes in the form of
conflict this has become known as a
filter bubble in which those who get
their news mostly from social media are
rarely presented with challenging
perspectives s9 tackle obesity a great
many factors have contributed to the
rise of obesity in the United States so
it stands to reason that ubiquitous
smartphones tablets TVs and gaming
consoles may play a role in keeping us
more sedentary but wide-ranging study by
us-based smell convinces it looked at
obesity rates in 27 countries and came
up with a surprisingly consistent number
for every ten percent increase in the
amount of country spends on TAC devices
there is a one-percent bump in obesity
rates with tag keeping exclude to our
seats were less active and we've changed
our eating habits many programs by local
governments and employers such as free
weight loss counseling and fitness
centers have sprung up to counteract
this effect aid the web has diminished
your attention span
while it may come as no surprise that
the fast-paced consumption of
digital media has resulted in a shorter
average attention span a Canadian
research project funded by Microsoft
likewise puts this into sharp
perspective using the tail surveys and
big brain scans the attention stance of
over 2,000 Canadians were measured twice
once in two thousand roughly at the
beginning of the mobile era and once in
2015 the results the average attention
span had dropped from 12 seconds 28
seconds an astonishing irosian of
one-third of our attention span and only
15 years although the report points out
that there has been a corresponding rise
and the ability to effectively
multi-task it also points out that eight
seconds is less than the attention span
of the average goldfish seven on demand
everything makes you less patient the
rise of YouTube and on the man video
streaming appears to be contributing to
a culture in which few of us are willing
to wait long for anything especially
entertainment one you mass Amherst study
looked at the viewing habits of over six
million internet users to determine how
long the average viewer would wait for a
video to load the answer two seconds
after which viewers began to abandon the
video in droves
the effect is bleeding over into real
life more and more large retailers are
offering same-day delivery services
while mobile apps aimed at reducing wait
times for dinner reservations or cab
rides are exploding in popularity of you
research project examining the lives of
hyper-connected adults under 35
concluded with the warning fit for a
prescription drug negative effects
include a need for instant gratification
and loss of patients six gps affects
brain function gps has become a nearly
indispensable aspect of everyday life
many of us can't remember how we ever
got anywhere without maps tent actual
physical maps but researchers at McGill
University have presented three studies
which suggest that over-reliance on GPS
can actually be detrimental to long-term
memory as we age
this is because the hippocampus the area
of the brain which controls memory is
also a
associated with spatial navigation
researchers found a higher physical
volume of gray matter and increased
activity in the hippocampus and their
subjects who relied mainly on spatial
navigation rather than gps one
neuroscientist involved with the study
even suggested that relying on gps may
lead to the earlier onset of dementia
and that avoiding its use when possible
may help stave off cognitive impairment
five more Kathleen's to less creative
thinking it's also easy to imagine that
the wealth of information and resources
online would promote more creative
thinking in general but once again the
opposite appears to be true and the
reason makes a great deal of sense johns
hopkins university of illinois
researchers recently conducted a study
examining the effects of abundance on
creativity and found that abundance
resources actually lead to less creative
thought when resources are scarce they
are used more creatively the researchers
isolated a dynamic they called the
constraint mindset which is a mental
process motivated by scarcity when fewer
resources are available more creative
solutions are required to produce the
desired result
the study also noted that while created
thinking scores of consistently fallen
since 1990 IQ scores have risen both
effects are most pronounced into five to
ten age group for smartphones change
your sleep patterns a 2012 Time magazine
survey of 4700 people found a great many
respondents agreeing with the statement
I don't sleep as well as i used to
because i am connected to technology all
the time for those aged 18 to 24 it was
fully one-quarter of them however there
is also a scientific reason why evening
smartphone use could be bad for your
shot type humans are wired to know when
to sleep and went to lake by the quality
of ambient light red light the type seen
at dusk signals the body that it is
nighttime while blue light is the signal
that it's time to wake up this blue
light is obviously seen in the morning
and is also emitted by smartphones and
tablets
this suppresses melatonin a speed
promoting chemical in the brain
according to a harvard study blue light
also reduces the overall hours of REM
sleep which is crucial to healthy mental
function three texting hurts our ability
to communicate texting has become the
primary form of Billy communication for
nearly everybody even Americans in older
age groups now send more texts / days
and they make phone calls
much has been made of how text and email
communications can rob an exchange of
context but the problem runs deeper than
this new research suggests that texting
maybe slowly depriving us of our ability
to read emotional cues and others such
nonverbal visual cues are a critical
component of conversation and some
developmental psychologists worried that
a lack of experience with them can be
particularly damaging to the social
development of young people while most
adults enter the mobile age with their
social skills already formed this is not
the case for children and teenagers
these young people may find themselves
more limited in their ability to have a
face-to-face conversation than previous
generations to google makes you retain
less information virtually any piece of
information can be produced with a quick
google search which is extremely useful
and highly problematic Harvard and
University of Wisconsin scientists
ascertain a recent research paper that
this has led to the google effect a
tendency for us to treat the internet as
a sort of external hard drive for our
brains requiring us to retain less
information one of several experiments
involved the cognitive self-esteem of
participants which is their opinion of
their own ability to remember things
the researchers found that using the
internet to find answers the questions
provided a boost in cognitive
self-esteem similar to that of the
participants knowing the answer
themselves the implication is that users
begin to think of the internet as being
a part of their own cognitive process
rather than a tool with a corresponding
decrease in the tendency to actually
remember new learn information one fake
news keeps you miss informed the
proliferation of fake news web
site says generated a great deal of real
news and 2016 these websites sometimes
make genuine news outlets complete with
legitimate looking URLs fake news sites
have come under fire for publishing
misleading or outright false stories in
the pursuit of clicks one might think
that such easily debunked fake stories
could have little impact of the
information age but one Stanford study
conducted in 2015 dramatically suggest
otherwise
multiple assessments were made of the
ability of middle school high school and
college students to evaluate the trust
for the nests of information online and
one fully eighty percent of participants
failed to differentiate between an
article and an advertisement labeled
sponsored content on the same page and
another only twenty-five percent of
students were able to tell verified fox
news twitter account from the fake with
over thirty percent arguing for the
legitimacy of the phony account because
of graphics elements that contained
Stanford researchers conducted the study
across 12 states and we're taken aback
by the results
lead researcher center line number said
despite their fluency with social media
many students are unaware of basic
conventions for indicating verified
digital information
