In this episode we talk about a growing concern researchers are starting to notice around the world:
For the first time in recorded history, a generation may be declining on certain cognitive measures compared to their parents.
Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath has pointed to a surprising factor — the widespread introduction of digital technology in schools and childhood development.
So what’s actually happening to our brains?
Dr. Robert Melillo and Ellis break down:
• Why Gen Z may be struggling with attention, memory, and learning
• The impact of screens and digital technology on brain development
• Why humans are wired to learn from other humans
• The connection between technology and the “dating recession”
• How social media may be affecting confidence and relationships
• The role of the right brain in imagination, creativity, and social connection
• Why kids need movement, play, and real-world interaction
We’re not here to criticize Gen Z — in fact, many young people are incredibly creative and innovative.
But this episode explores an important question:
What happens when technology replaces imagination, movement, and human interaction?
And more importantly:
How can we fix it?
Sometimes the answer might be simpler than we think:
Go outside. Talk to people. Get bored. Use your imagination.
