Mobile phone addiction, brain converter

Technology is evolving and so is our lives. The phone has become common and everyday. We feel the lack of smartphones. You must have felt bad because your phone was depleted and you didn’t have the opportunity to charge it, or you might have left it at home. In such a way, the possibility immediately passes through one's mind that one will be looking for an important matter if one does not have one's device. That’s why most people embarrassingly make sure our phone is always our companion. That doesn’t mean it’s constantly at our fingertips and we’re constantly stroking. Still, we need the security awareness to have our own device in our environment.

The other category is represented by those who would like to spend their time immersed in their phones all day, if they did not have to interrupt with study or work. Mobile addiction is not limited to the young age group. Undoubtedly, the phone can be a great help in almost anything, as it makes our lives easier in so many ways. No wonder we reach out right after our phone in any life situation.

When we fumble with our phone, we usually deal with something else, that is, we focus on several things at once, we share our attention. This is multitasking. Because of this, we put so much extra strain on our brains and that our mental health and, in the process, our physical health can be damaged.

As a layman, we know that excessive telephony and mobile addiction are not good things. Not only does it take your attention away from anything else that can cause you to have an accident, but it’s also not physically good.

Researchers have also confirmed this fact, and have even found that telephone addiction affects humans so much that it even changes the structure of the brain, and this has been proven with the help of MRI. Cell phone addicts are affected as if they were struggling with drug problems. It has also been found that those who have become addicted to mobile telephony have a smaller cortical gray matter. Scientists have no answer at all as to what effect this kind of change in the brain will have in the future.
