Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Looking down at your phone can give you a spine angle equivalent to an 8-year-old child sitting on your neck, potentially leading to myopia or nearsightedness.
- •
Smartphones can trigger a compulsion loop by rewarding the brain with bursts of dopamine, similar to the behaviors associated with nicotine or cocaine.
- •
The blue light emitted from smartphone screens can disrupt circadian rhythms, diminishing time spent in deep sleep and potentially leading to health issues like diabetes, cancer, and obesity.
