I've seen the same thing in my family and relatives across all age groups, I doubt they understand it either.

The problem with that though, they don't really get to see what great feats a healthy adult brain is allegedly capable of, for example from their parents, nor their teachers if we're being honest for a millisecond. So why bother? Offline adult brains have failed at preventing any of this - nor are they more successful. It's really not brain health that predicts success in 2026.

> Do you really think young people around 14-16 understand the impact of doomscrolling & 15 sec videos on their brain capacities?

Yes, they do. Social media is, ironically, full of young Gen-Z rediscovering the joys of the analog world, saying they want to get off social media, looking into dumb phones. You don't see many "grown adults" talking about it. They're too far gone.

Does your age bracket, in general?
