Part 6/7:

Amidst the bleakness lies a glimmer of hope: our brains are plastic, meaning they can adapt and change. Although our constant media consumption is impairing our focus, we have the power to reverse these effects. Strategies can be implemented to reclaim our ability to concentrate.

First, individuals can benefit from minimizing phone usage and taking regular breaks from digital devices. A day without a phone can serve as a valuable detox for the brain. Next, consuming media that demands attention—such as engaging films or books—can help retrain our cognitive faculties. Movies should not be mere background noise to online scrolling; instead, they should be immersive experiences that draw viewers in.
