This article talked about technology and our brains. The article pointed out that technology has enhanced our lives by making things easier. In particular, video games can improve hand-eye coordination but can suppress the frontal lobe. They explained that technology in itself, can cause us to lose the social connections which protects us from stress.
This article relates to our Psychology class because with technology, such as a simple calculator, a person may develop a self-helplessness attitude about Math or other subjects. This can then cause unnecessary stress levels which is bad for our health. This article also relates to our Psychology class because it mentioned the frontal lobe, which deals with memory, attention and problem-solving.
