Business Spotlight: Brain Basics
Is Technology Fogging Up Your Brain?
Ever feel like you’re running a mental marathon with technology hurdles popping up every other step? We’re promised this streamlined, connected world, but sometimes it leaves us feeling scatterbrained and overloaded.
It’s like our brains are stuck in the slow lane while technology zooms ahead. We’re constantly bombarded with notifications, emails, and updates, each one vying for our attention. This constant digital stimulation can lead to “technology fog” – a feeling of mental overload that makes it hard to focus, make decisions, and think clearly.
Why is this happening?
Our ancient brains are simply not wired for the hypermodern digital world. Back in the Stone Age, our brains were focused on survival, constantly scanning for immediate threats. Today, we’re flooded with digital “tigers” – emails, texts, social media notifications – that trigger the same fight-or-flight response.
Each ping and buzz releases dopamine, the feel-good hormone, creating a reward loop that keeps us hooked to our devices. But this constant task-switching comes at a cost. Every time we shift our focus, our brains expend precious energy, leaving us feeling mentally exhausted.
