According to the World Economic Forum, 44% of workers’ core skills will change by 2027, and 6 in 10 employees will require reskilling to remain competitive (World Economic Forum, 2023). The challenge is clear: adapt or be automated. But the opportunity? It’s equally powerful.

Technology has become an inescapable part of modern life. While screens provide convenience and entertainment, they also exert a profound influence on brain function. Research indicates that excessive screen time impacts dopamine regulation, focus, and emotional stability in ways that are often underestimated. Understanding these neurological effects is critical for maintaining mental well-being. This article examines how screens alter brain chemistry and offers practical strategies to mitigate their impact.    The Role of Dopamine in Screen Use   Dopamine is a neurotransmitter associated with reward, motivation, and pleasure. Digital interactions, particularly social media, gaming, and short-form videos, are designed to trigger dopamine release.
