Professor Ivelin Sardamov draws on key findings in neuroscience to
explain the waning interest in and knowledge of complex social issues in
the United States and around the world. Attributing this trend primarily
to the effects of information overload, ubiquitous screens and constant
access to the internet, Sardamov argues that chronic over-stimulation
generated by the current sociotechnological environment fosters
addictive tendencies in today's young people.
