"What is digital dementia? Digital dementia is characterized as the deterioration of brain function as a result of the overuse of digital technology, such as computers, smart phones and Internet use in general. Basically if you don't use your brain and keep it healthy you loose it. Makes perfect sense." This is why I still actively put my phone away for set times a day lmao. That and also I enjoy my books and prefer reading on paper to screen | |||

"Sounds made up. Click bait headline grabbing pseudo scientist trying to justify the expense of a huge grant awarded for research. " Neuroscientist - someone who deals with the central nervous system which Inc brain. I like the term. Dementia is an umbrella term, not a disease. Most known is Alzheimer's, the vascular dementia. Together they are the most common. Digital dementia is a snappy term that indicates brain issues caused by digital technology. It has been known for quite some time the patterns of making and archiving memories has been altered. I am going to assume the limbic system of recording memories (via emotions) hasn't altered much (although with the addictiveness of smart phones, we will see some behavioural and emotional differences as people withdraw into their phones and are not completely present IRL). However, as information is instantly available, the need to learn and remember things is completely different to when I was at school. This, I believe is the crux of the matter. Digital info has done to the brain what processed foot has done to other bodies - fucked them. Our bodies and brains are not working to the same degree as before the millennium. Easy in, easy out. Digital dementia may be renamed hippocampus atrophy perhaps? | |||

Digital dementia may be renamed hippocampus atrophy perhaps?" I definitely think there’s some truth in it. It makes sense that if you don’t use your brain to its full capacity then it’ll get worse and stop being as good. They reckon doing brain games like wordle etc are good for keeping your brain functioning | |||

"Ooops "then vascular", and food not foot. If you wanna eat feet go ahead ??" Lol I got the gist. I understand what you are saying. However what about the brain training exercises that are digital? Surely using a phone, laptop or computer to search for stuff is no different from the old fashioned picking up an encyclopedia to source information? | |||

You might argue that any brain is capable of xyz given the right education and support. Genius brains are probably biologically capable of more than the average brain. I guess it’s a case of use it or lose it whatever your brain power | |||

"Don't believe everything Manfred Spitzer tells you. After all; I'm a programmer. I'm also a helicopter. Neoooow...buzzzzz..." Exactly. This a theory put by a single neuroscientist. It's scaremongering. | |||

"However what about the brain training exercises that are digital? " Brain trainers are really great at training you to do brain trainers. A bit like MENSA tests. I’ve always had a crap memory and now I have all the facts in the world in the palm of my hand I just don’t bother. I don’t know if you could call that dementia. | |||
