Brain Rot: Is tech making your memory better or worse?
We're trusting tech with more tasks than ever — including the ones our brains once did.
We're Googling things we used to know, taking screenshots of things we'll instantly forget, and hoarding all kinds of data we'll never check again.
On this episode of Brain Rot: is tech giving your brain a holiday, or putting it out of a job?
You'll also meet a guy who's turned the tables, by using AI to help recover his lost memories.
Brain Rot is a five part series from the ABC's Science Friction about how tech is changing our brains, hosted by Ange Lavoipierre.
