“Our brain is adapting to where we’re able to recognize multiple incoming sources of information,” said psychologist Tracy Alloway.
82% of people use social media in the United States. We often hear about the negative effects of it, such as decreased productivity, time wasting and addiction. Melanie Lawson joins us to share some of the benefits of social media scrolling.
New studies show the average person spends about two hours and 27 minutes on social media every day and checks their cellphone 159 times a day. While this itself is bad, there is actually an upside to all the scrolling. “If you’re going through something, you can connect with someone across the world who is going through something similar,” said Alloway.
“It’s up to you to decide what is going to nourish you the most emotionally and from a mental health perspective,” Alloway said.
