Your Brain on Shorts: The Cognitive Cost of Fragmented Attention.Actually Simple

Have you ever felt like your attention span is shrinking?
In this video, we investigate how ultra-fast, short-form content fundamentally rewires our brains. We explore the hidden cognitive costs incurred by the constant dopamine hits and fragmented attention that come with modern digital habits.
As we scroll through endless feeds, we are doing more than just passing time; we are participating in a shift that leads to the erosion of deep work capacity and critical thinking. We will dissect the specific neurological pathways altered by endless scrolling and explain why rapid context switching makes it harder for us to focus on complex tasks.
In this video, you will learn:
• The science behind how short-form media impacts your brain.
• Why constant dopamine hits create a cycle of fragmented attention.
• How rapid context switching through endless scrolling damages your ability to perform deep work.
• The long-term impact of ultra-fast content on your critical thinking skills.
