Though not a serious medical condition, it highlights the pervasive impact of technology on our sensory perceptions and cognitive processes.

This fragmented attention can lead to increased stress and a feeling of being overwhelmed, as our brains struggle to juggle multiple demands simultaneously. While social networks offer valuable connections and information, their constant presence can hinder effective multitasking and productivity.
