Review of: Technology’s Impact on Brain Utilization: Trojan Horse of The Tech Revolution | Computersight

Technology’s Impact on Brain Utilization: Trojan Horse of The Tech Revolution | Computersight

Sahan's article for neuroscience .
Intriguing start to the article. A great attempt by my batch mate. Displays a lot of research, especially in Psychology and Neuroscience related to aspects of computing and technology. A little colloquial in the language at some points. I find myself strongly interested in him criticizing the modern concept of "New is always better". (But this section seemingly lacks references . I personally don't believe referencing is very scientific thing to do anyway. )
Other than a minor spelling error, I believe the content could have been more intriguing. My question for Sahan is that although its true, the idea of technology creating personalities which are "lonely, self-centered souls strongly entangled in self-contempt" (nothing new), he has not discussed the effect by social networks in this context of social interactions. The effect on "Emotional Intelligence " by social networks, I believe is a subject to be discussed separately.
Overall this is a good effort. And it is suitable as a scientific magazine article, rather than a scientific dissertation . And that's what it is.. So again good luck Sahan!
