another. These new interactions create new neural pathways that work in a
similar way to previous interactions.

this article is tell how modern technology is effecting our brians. Since
technology is advancing so quickly our brains are always changing. One example
is that are thoughts of intimacy is also changing because “we risk losing
personal touch with our real-life relationships and may experience an
artificial sense of intimacy as compared with when we shut down our devices and
devote our attention to one individual at a time.” The reading further
