New technologies in brain capacities
With the arrival of technology, human beings have undergone various changes in their day-to-day life and even in activities as innate as brain capacities.
Scientific evidence of brain capabilities
It is still too early to determine that it is scientifically proven, since the trials that have been carried out have been with small populations.
For this reason, they are not representative to affirm what is becoming more evident every day; changes in the brain.
The use of mobile devices is already part of people's lives. However, brain capacities such as attention have been greatly affected by new technologies.
On the other hand, the ability to multitask has improved with the advent of technological innovations.
So far, innovative devices have not been proven to affect brain function or performance.
Being a brain went from being a walking encyclopedia where the human being stored information to being an inveterate search engine.
Temporary or permanent?
Because it is an immensely malleable organ, the brain tends to adapt to what it is experiencing, so although brain capacities may be affected, it is also possible that they may even improve to adapt to the moment.
Losing or gaining features?
Currently, the human being tends to remember less information than it now stores in technological devices.
Being able to remember routes or paths has gone down in history with the use of GPS.
On the other hand, the function of where something is stored is increasingly strengthened.
It is observed how the ability to execute many tasks simultaneously has evolved.
Recommendations. To improve or maintain brain abilities, specialists advise:
Staying active by constantly exercising the brain, since there is evidence that those who have attended higher education are less likely to suffer from cognitive impairment. It is important to train the brain, to train yourself intellectually. This with the purpose of developing the cognitive reserve. Take care of social contact, do not put it aside. Rest properly.
