The Relationship Between the Media and Intelligence

Brain, Behavior, and Media
Is media influencing your brain and your behavior through psychology?
29 MAR 2012, Bernard J. Luskin, Ed.D., LMFT
Social media is sometimes used as a mental and emotional retreat or refuge with your mind trapped for hours ignoring the world around you. IAD (Internet Addiction Disorder) has become such a real thing that MRI’s (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) are being used for more research to be conducted on different manners. Spending waking hours on social media is not matching the hours you are asleep. Also, social media has been desensitizing users on morally charged items. Overall social media can ultimately be the driver of social change if it could be better governed.
