At this stage, stress and adrenaline increase in the body, and long-term exposure can be harmful to both mental and physical health. Evidence supports the idea that these events can alter neural pathways, changing our brain physiology. (Piccolo and Vorgan, 2008). This means that the parts of the brain that control mood and thoughts are transformed without knowing the effects. There is another article written by Richard Woods titled Report: The Next Step in Brain Evolution focuses on a young woman who said "First thing every morning I wake up, check the messages on my phone, have a cup of tea and check my emails… Technology is an essential part of my daily social and academic life.” Woods describes her as a “digital native” because she grew up in the technological age.
