Harmful Effects Of Smartphones On Our Brain Health
There was a time when no one had smartphones in their hands. People used to live really simple life. However, as technology has improved so much, I think that the usage of smartphones is becoming a regular thing now. Some so many people tend to use smartphones. Smartphones are becoming an everyday thing in our lives. Smartphone usage is becoming so common now that now people belonging to each and every class own one. I do not think that smartphones are "evil." There could be many advantages of utilizing smartphones as well. However, this article will focus on a few disadvantages of using smartphones.
1) Smartphones Addiction May Be Bad For Your Brain
Many folks tend to be addicted to many different things, such as smartphones. The fact of the matter is that there are many reasons why people could be addicted to phones. Smartphones are gadgets that are used to entertain people. This is why people's dopamine levels in the brain could increase when they use smartphones. This could make smartphones an addictive "substance." A new study which is released by the experts of the RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) has suggested that being addicted to smartphones could lead to an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. The study suggested that people addicted to smartphones had a tremendous amount of gamma-aminobutyric in their brains. This neurotransmitter decreases brain signaling. Having an incredibly high level of these neurotransmitters could lead to anxiety.
2) Some Studies Say That Possession Of Smartphones Could Also Affect the Brain
The study I mentioned before has also been backed up by other studies that suggest that even possessing phones could hurt your brain. The University of Texas conducted this study at Austin. According to the study, possessing smartphones could lead to cognitive decline 9at least a temporary one). Perhaps this could be due to the fact that smartphones could divert the attention of people. However, it seems like it has more to do with a person's dependence on smartphones and how his or her behavior is linked to smartphone usage, and their subconscious mind may still be thinking about phones.
3) Smartphones Could Have An Impact On Our Thinking Skills
There was a time when people relied less on technology and they relied more on their thinking capacity and mental abilities. However, now we have everything in our hands in the form of smartphones. Now we calculate things using a calculator. We use maps on our phones to find directions. Moreover, we have applications that help us solve and deal with various problems. A new study conducted at the University of Waterloo has suggested that this may decrease our ability to think and perform demanding tasks without depending on technology such as smartphones.
Conclusion
It might be possible that there could be many advantages to using smartphones. However, everything comes with a price. The fact of the matter is that smartphones have helped us a lot. However, smartphones could have an impact on our mental abilities and capabilities as well.
