Do you ever feel like you know so much and remember so little? In most conversations you can recall relevant information about the topic, you and a friend are having But you lose the ability to have a sustained thought? Your point just drifts away without being able to grab it? You might be experiencing mild effects of digital dementia, a term coined Dr. Manfred Spitzer in 2012 which described the over reliance on technology for out-sourcing mental tasks. Like memorising phone numbers or factual recall. As some surface-level symptoms, such as forgetfulness, shortened attention span, and difficulty concentrating, mirror that of early stages of dementia. Taken to its extreme, digital media overuse can spider web into affecting all areas of daily life. And you might be asking, what can I do? Well other than fulfilling the basic requirements of our brain and bodies to function. Like setting tech free environments, exercise, socialise .Create and learn. You need to start to build the fundamentals of intentional use One way I’ve found to do this is Ask myself why I am using the phone, speak out loud your intended purpose before grabbing it. It helps prevent you from slipping into passive consumption. That's how you protect your brain and your kids brain from an advancement in technology so fast, we can’t keep up. One slower, more intentional moment at a time. If you want to learn the slow, more intentional way of life, follow along, as I teach myself how to keep playing the slow uncomfortable long game.
