Here, Casin examines the impact of excessive screen use on learning, brain development, and critical thinking. It introduces neuroplasticity and emphasizes the importance of stimulating our minds through meaningful activities. It also addresses misinformation and AI-generated content, highlighting the need to question online information, develop critical thinking, and become more informed individuals. Today I want to talk about how we use our time.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
