With social media sites being used by one third of the entire world,
2
they've clearly had a major influence on society.
3
But what about our bodies?
4
Here are five crazy ways that social media and the internet are affecting your brain right now.
5
Can't log off?
6
Surprisingly, 5-10% of internet users are actually unable to control how much time they spend online.
7
Though it's a psychological addiction as opposed to a substance addiction,
8
brain scans of these people actually show a similar impairment of regions that those with drug dependence have.
9
Specifically, there's a clear degradation of white matter in the regions that control emotional processing,
10
attention, and decision making.
11
Because social media provides immediate rewards with very little effort required,
12
your brain begins to rewire itself,
13
making you desire these stimulations,
14
and you begin to crave more of this neurological excitement after each interaction.
15
Sounds a little like a drug, right?
16
We also see a shift when looking at multitasking.
17
You might think that those who use social media or are constantly switched between work and websites are better at multitasking,
18
but studies have found that when comparing heavy media users to others,
19
they perform much worse during task switching tests.
20
Increased multitasking online reduces your brain's ability to filter out interferences
21
and can even make it harder for your brain to commit information to memory.
22
Like when your phone buzzes in the middle of productive work.
23
Or wait, did it even buzz?
24
Phantom vibration syndrome is a relatively new psychological phenomenon where you think you felt your phone go off,
25
but it didn't.
26
In one study, 89% of test subjects said they experienced this at least once every two weeks.
27
it would seem that our brains now perceive an itch as an actual vibration from our phone.
28
As crazy as it seems,
29
technology has begun to rewire our nervous system,
30
and our brains are being triggered in a way they never have before in history.
31
Social media also triggers a release of dopamine, the feel-good chemical.
32
Using MRI scans, scientists found that the reward centers in people's brains are much more active
33
when they're talking about their own views as opposed to listening to others.
34
Not so surprising, we all love talking about ourselves, right?
35
But it turns out that while 30-40% of face-to-face conversations involve communicating our own experiences,
36
around 80% of social media communication is self-involved.
37
The same part of your brain related to orgasms,
38
motivation, and love are stimulated by your social media use,
39
and even more so when you know you have an audience.
40
Our body is physiologically rewarding us for talking about ourselves online.
41
But it's not also self-involved.
42
In fact, studies on relationships have found
43
that partners tend to like each other more if they meet for the first time online rather than with a face-to-face interaction.
44
Whether it's because people are more anonymous or perhaps more clear about their future goals,
45
there's a statistical increase in successful partnerships that started online.
46
So while the internet has changed our verbal communication with increased physical separation,
47
perhaps the ones that matter the most end up even closer.
48
Speaking of social media, we had you ask us questions on Twitter,
49
Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Google+, and every other social platform we could find,
50
and did a Q&A video over on ASAP Thought,
51
so if you feel like getting some insider info on ASAP Science and behind the scenes,
52
check it out with the link in the description.
53
Got a burning question you want answered?
54
Ask it in the comments or on Facebook and Twitter.
55
We also finally got a P.O.
56
Box for all of you amazing science lovers who have requested to send us mail or other stuff over the years.
57
And we'd love to hear from all of you,
58

この動画で話す練習をする理由
ソーシャルメディアは今や私たちの日常生活に欠かせない存在となっており、その影響は私たちの脳にも及んでいます。この動画では、ソーシャルメディアが私たちの思考や行動にどのように影響を与えるかを探ります。英語のスピーキング練習において、このようなテーマを選ぶことはとても重要です。特に、トピックが現代的で関心を引くものであれば、自然と会話が弾みます。英語で意見を表現したり、自分の経験を話すことで、英語のスピーキングスキルを向上させることができます。また、情報をシェアしたり、自分の考えを述べる過程で、自分自身の感情や意見を再確認する機会にもなります。
文法と表現の文脈
この動画では、いくつかの重要な構文や表現が使用されています。ここでは、英語のスピーキング練習に役立ついくつかの例を挙げます。
- "While 30-40% of face-to-face conversations involve communicating our own experiences" - 「対面での会話において、30〜40%は自分の経験を伝えることに関わっている」という表現は、具体的な統計を使って話を展開する方法を示しています。
- "It turns out that while 30-40% of face-to-face conversations involve communicating our own experiences, around 80% of social media communication is self involved." - 図表や対比を使った言い回しは、自分の意見を効果的に述べる際に非常に役立ちます。
- "Our body is physiologically rewarding us for talking about ourselves online!" - 強調を使った表現は聴衆の注意を引くのに適しています。
一般的な発音の罠
この動画では、いくつかの言葉やフレーズが発音上のトラップになりがちです。以下のポイントに気を付けて発音練習を行いましょう。
- "Dopamine" - この単語は発音が難しく、特に「ドーパミン」と正確に言うことが求められます。
- "Phenomenon" - この単語の発音も難解な部分がありますので、注意して練習しましょう。
- "Social Media" - 特に「ソーシャル」と「メディア」の間のリズムに気を付けることで、流暢さを向上させることができます。
これらの練習を通じて、英語の発音を良くすることができますし、英語スピーキング練習の効果も大いに期待できます。このような科学的なトピックを用いることで、心に残る会話が生まれやすく、学習効果も高まります。興味深い内容を語ることで、学習がより楽しく、意義のあるものになります。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
