1
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
so feel free to use the address on the screen or in the description box.

練習技巧
在進行本影片相關內容的影子跟讀練習時,您可以嘗試以以下方式提升您的效果:
- 模仿語速:儘量跟隨影片的語速與語調,注意重音和停頓,這將提高您的英語口語練習效果。
- 選擇片段:選取您感興趣的段落進行反覆模仿,不要求一次就完美,而是逐漸提高。
- 記錄反饋:錄下自己的聲音並與影片進行對比,幫助識別發音和語調方面的不足。

| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | being triggered · are stimulated |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
