Impact of Twitter on
human cognition
This social network works in a way that causes
information overload through superficial reading of
various information
For this reason, this application can mainly harm
people with cognitive or attention deficits who may
have difficulties in filtering what is relevant and
what is irrelevant.
Mindful use of Twitter
- It is important that the user chooses
reliable and non-sensational
information profiles
- Limit the time spent so as not to
overload the brain
- Engage in socially relevant debates
for society
