Humans have lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle for most of their lives and have been surrounded by various dangers. The brain, which evolved to adapt to such a lifestyle, has not adapted to modern society.
Smartphones and social networking sites stimulate the brain’s reward system, making us dependent on them and reducing our ability to concentrate; IT pioneers recognized the disadvantages and limited the amount of time they and their children spent on smartphones.
