Internet Use and Brain Atrophy
By Muhammad Saleem
While conventional wisdom teaches us that multitasking makes us more efficient, research suggests that we’re incapable of efficiently managing more than two tasks at a time.
Brain Impact
eHRs, CPOEs and MU … oh my!
If you have a moment, take a break from what you’re doing to look at this infographic on how multitasking induced stress impacts our brains.
Synopsis
Here are some of the findings in brief:
- Our daily consumption of social media has more than doubled in the last 50 years from 5 hours to 12 hours.
- The average computer user checks 40 websites a day, switching between programs 36 times an hour.
- 61% of adults admit to being addicted to the internet.
Assessment
