- The average office worker checks their email inbox 30-40 times an hour which equates to nearly every 1.5 minutes
- 25% of people surveyed forgot names of close friends and even relatives and 7% forgot their own birthdays from time-to-time
- A ULCA Study showed that just 5 hours of internet surfing can change the way our brains work
And while research actually supports that internet can boost brain function it is of course important to remember... all in moderation. It is important as a communicator (using your passionate voice to influence those around you!) to recognize just how much our brains have changed due to technology. Because communicating in today's world is different than it was 10 years ago, knowing this can be very powerful knowledge in helping you re-adjust your communication techniques when approaching people and situations.
How much do you think your brain has changed due to use of technology?
