Cognitive Debt is the invisible toll your brain pays for every moment of digital distraction. It's the compound interest on your attention span.
You can't remember what you read 5 minutes ago. Your thoughts feel like they're swimming through molasses.
Hours disappear without you noticing. You start scrolling at 9 PM and suddenly it's 2 AM.
You feel your phone buzz when it's not even there. Your brain is constantly expecting notifications.
You're exhausted but can't stop scrolling. Your brain is tired but your thumb keeps swiping.
You start 10 things but finish none. Your attention span is shorter than a goldfish's.
You're afraid of missing out on everything. Every notification feels like a life-or-death situation.
Average human attention span in 2024 (down from 12 seconds in 2000). Goldfish have longer attention spans than humans now.

Reduction in working memory capacity among heavy social media users. Your brain is literally shrinking.

"The more we rely on AI to think for us, the less we're able to think for ourselves."
Schools are grappling with the reality that AI tools might be creating a generation of students who can't think critically. Your $COGD is going viral!
"We're trading deep learning for quick answers, and our cognitive muscles are atrophying."
