Digital Dementia - Are We Encouraging It? 

What is this thing being called, DIGITAL DEMENTIA?  Is it truly something real?  Can it be reversed?  What are the symptoms?  What are the traits?  What should you be worried about?  Believe it or not, Gen Z and Millenials are most at risk with projections of dementia cases growing four to six-fold by 2050.  Think on that.   

Use of the smartphone, and fusing our brainpower with it (how much does it truly do for you?) can decrease brain cells and matter.  It’s very concerning - if you’re a parent, or even if you’re one of that population! 

How much time do your children, toddlers, teenagers, spouses, colleagues, parents, or whomever, spend on smartphones, computers, tablets?   Sure it sounds a bit much, but just decreasing your time can mean so much more.  

So much to learn today!
