For hours we keep on scrolling watching reels, fun, masti and informative videos, out of which we do not remember anything once done. You feel useless and helpless alone of the screen is shut off. You want to be engaged continously, get entertained or addresed by some or the other content. You try and place your foot in every glass shoe, but doesn't fit into any... Like Cinderella's sisters.
Ultimately our brain is getting rot, becoming useless and less worthy of carrying important information.
Brain rot is the widely used word and one of the words in Oxford word of the years list 2024.it is nothing but mentally rotting of the brain due to excess online information.
There so much information on the net, in the reels, which our brain is not able to process.
Let's get back to evolution of man when men used the brain to identify the danger around them when they went for hunting. Eyes, ears and other senses worked collectively and so the actions were clear.
Today we scroll for hours and dump excess information on the brain and other senses, though for time being it realises dopamine, immediately after next reel of few seconds we forget what we seen. Similarly we feel empty after hours of scrolling as brain is unable to process any information because it failed to identify what's important.
Everything cannot be stores in the brain. Giving so much pressure on it is making it useless and good for nothing, hence we often forget things we were about to do, we do not understand references, we feel bored after reading one page, or watching movie even for 10 minutes.
This is resulting into a generation which is completely skill less , they do now know to communicate, draw, paint, write, play.. Loss of respect, love and empathy follows. If we see today's generation do not have any hobby which is creative or artistic.
When we have indigestion we go for fasting, same thing applies to this continous Or endless surfing it is called digital detox. Limit your presence online, do limited surfing, only if necessary,
Watching numerous reels on workout, won't get u fit, watching cooking reels won't cook the food.... You will have to move physically.
Think on the outcome. of watching the reel, what did u learn from it in that hour.
You need to implement some of the habbits Or adapt hobbies like writing, reading, talking with family, friends.
How can you avoid this or cure this BRAIN ROT
1.Control and divert your mind.
2.Define family time, friends time, study time instead of screen time.
3.Rather than watching reels watch or hear to useful lengthy podcasts.
4.Define your likes and dislikes
5.Do not watch what comes your way, search for relevant subjects.
Hope this will help you, share it with your friends and family to avoid Brain rot.
