Some experts in medicine and education are using the term “TikTok brain” to describe a situation where children consume so much 15-second entertainment that they cannot focus on long-form communication.
The never-ending bite-sized videos on TikTok and other social media platforms are apparently harming brain function.
The issue is real for adults, too, but the concern is higher for children whose brains are still developing. “Concerns about how youth may respond to social cues or even expectations of social interactions based on how much social media they use,” she said.“If they cannot put their phone down for more than an hour without checking it, or if it’s impacting their ability to listen to lectures at school, or they cannot even have a phone call conversation, that may be a sign that it’s time to take a break,” Robles-Ramamurthy said.
