Abstract
The usage of digital devices, prominently comput- ers, and mobile phones has been booming, and it is a quite significant part of our life. But people are inherently not used to this technological approach in our daily lives. To analyze the influence of digital devices, this study uses primary data analysis to understand the impact and secondary data is used as references from entities from various academic articles and journals. Correlation and regression models are used to analyze the impact on the brain. By examining the data, this study has figured out that the use of digital devices has a substantial impact on students’ cognitive function and psychological well-being, depending on screen time and digital activities. Too much time in front of a screen might interfere with sleep, which can harm one’s memory and conduct. Furthermore, several studies show that those who are addicted to the internet or games experience grey matter atrophy. In conclusion, the influence of technology on our brain health is substantial, bringing about advantages as well as drawbacks. Although gadgets such as smartphones and computers can improve our skills and connections with others, excessive usage may have impacts on our mental functions. It is essential to grasp this equilibrium as we incorporate technology into our routines.
