Does endless scrolling really rot your brain? Science Short

from Squiz Kids · host Squiz Media

Dancing dog… football goal… slime video… celebrity prank… and, wait… where did the last 45 minutes go? In this Squiz Kids Science Short, we investigate what endless scrolling might be doing to our brains. We discover how working memory acts like a little mental whiteboard, unpack new research into heavy short-video use, and find out why exercise could help give our brainpower a boost. Don’t worry… your brain isn’t really turning to mush… but it might be time to give your thumb a rest!
