Spending too much time with smaller screen mobile phone is slowly frying your brain

Spending too much time with smaller screen mobile phone is slowly frying your brain in the following four ways.
1. Memory Problem
2. Addiction
3. Cognitive Decline
4. Stress

1. Memory Problem
1.1 Heavily rely on our devices as memory aids usually means a higher risk of depression, schizophrenia, and dementia.
Once you stop using your memory, it will get worse which will make you use your devices more.
For example, over-reliance on GPS's could ruin the memory in the brain.
It's good to try and remember directions where possible and generally try to use your memory in the brain instead of your phone.
It turns out that exercising that mental muscle of memory has aided in learning and emotional processing.
1.2  Multi-tasking is bad for you
The dangers of continual partial attention, it's checking your phone while mid conversation, or scrolling on social media while watching TV, it harms our memory and mental health.
In fact trying to consistently multi-task can actually hinder your ability to think deep and complex thoughts.
It also can create a false sense of urgency which prevents our brain's ability to transfer information into long-term storage and from here it becomes harder to accumulate memories.
In summary every minute distracted by your phone is a lost minute in the here and now this can
leave behind a trail of forgotten experiences and damage the ability to formulate deep and complex thoughts and long-term memories.

2. Addiction
Nomophobia is the real fear of being away from one's mobile phone.
The average user now checks their phones near to 100 times per day.
Excessive smartphone use presents itself a lot like addiction, weakening vital brain networks that control things like paying attention and stopping impulses.
This is a silent epidemic.
We really bring a nuclear bomb with information and it can create fake news that blow up people's brains and brainwash them.
The addictive designs of social media apps, we are increasingly glued to our phones.
The designs of social media apps mimic casino slot machines and exploit the pleasure of anticipating rewards and interestingly this can trigger larger dopamine spikes than the rewards themselves.
There's also infinite scrolling and auto-play from mobile apps to lull user into mindless behavior and addiction to his or her mobile phone.

3. Cognitive Decline
The mere presence of these phone devices reduces available cognitive capacity.
These cognitive costs are highest for those highest in smartphone dependence.
It lowers your ability to focus, remember, and solve problems.
The phone doesn't even have to be switched on.
This brain drain it happens because the human brain has a limited capacity to process information meaning we have to prioritize what we want to focus on when your phone is nearby, it competes for cognitive resources and your brain must work extra hard to resist its temptation.

4. Stress
Mobile phones aren't just changing our behavior.
They're affecting human biology and the health risks can get pretty serious.
Mobile phone notifications have turned us all into animals, training our brains to be in a constant state of fear and stress.
Here’s how it happens:
1. Neurons in the prefrontal cortex are altered after exposure to a flood of neurotransmitters.
One common trigger of neurotransmitters to flood the brain is the anticipation of rewards, like the UI on social media apps.
2. This can cause our prefrontal cortex, the brain's decision-making hub and emotional control center to go completely haywire and even shut down.
3. When the prefrontal cortex shuts down, the amygdala, responsible for emotional regulation, takes over, inducing stress.
