Do you scroll endlessly? It could lead to ‘brain rot’

BENGALURU: While the day may feel incomplete without scrolling through endless videos and online content, experts warn that this constant virtual consumption could be leading to ‘brain rot’ – a state of mental stagnation caused by mindless and repetitive content which directly results in reduced critical thinking and focus.

Doctors mention that for children under 12 years, even two hours of repetitive virtual content consumption can hinder creativity and cognitive growth.
