| Opplysninger | The human brain hasnt changed much since the Stone Age, let alone in the mere thirty years of the Screen Age. Thats why, according to neurologist Richard Cytowicwho, Oliver Sacks observed, changed the way we think of the human brainour brains are so poorly equipped to resist the incursions of Big Tech: They are programmed for the wildly different needs of a prehistoric world. In Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age, Cytowic explains exactly how this programming worksfrom the brains point of view. What he reveals in this book shows why we are easily addicted to screen devices; why young, developing brains are particularly vulnerable; why we need silence; and what we can do to push back.
