Abstract
In the digital age, our constant connectivity and reliance on technology have brought about a new concern: concealed brain damage. This hidden threat to our cognitive well-being is often exacerbated by the pervasive presence of short videos in our daily lives. As we immerse ourselves in the captivating world of screens, the detrimental effects on our brain health become increasingly apparent. Understanding the impact of short videos on our cognitive function is crucial to navigating the modern landscape of technological consumption. This article delves into the nuanced relationship between short videos and concealed brain damage, shedding light on the neurological, cognitive, psychological, and emotional implications of excessive screen time. By identifying these detriments and exploring strategies for mitigating the risks, we can strive to promote healthy tech habits for optimal brain health in an increasingly digital world.
