The document discusses how screen-based devices are rewiring the brain through plasticity, the brain's ability to change and adapt by forming new pathways in response to experience. While this plasticity allows old neural networks to change throughout life, it also poses potential downsides. Some scientists worry that modern digital media could reshape our brains in ways that increase attention disorders, screen addictions, and reduce social skills in future generations. However, technologies may also improve creativity when used properly. If the effects of technology are very negative, education may need to be delivered through only brief animations in the future.
