Is your smartphone altering your brain? Many of the arguments about the internet rewiring our brains can be traced back to older concepts about changes from oral to literate cultures, writes @researchireland.ie Postdoctoral Fellow Lily Ní Dhomhnaill. www.maynoothuniversity.ie/research/spo...
An close-up, angled shot in the dark shows a person holding a glowing smartphone. Their left hand cradles the phone from behind, while their right hand is positioned to tap the bright, white screen with an index finger. The intense glow of the screen illuminates the tips of their fingers. In the background, soft, out-of-focus city lights create a warm orange and red bokeh effect against the night.
