Society’s addiction to social media is actually a result of evolution according to an experimental psychologist.
Professor of Developmental Psychology in Society at the University of Bristol, Bruce Hood, ‘our brains have evolved into social animals’.
While our brains started shrinking 20,000 years ago, tjis has nothing to do with intelligence but rather speaks to the fact that we no longer survive in on individual but tend towards ‘group intelligence’.
What does that mean?
Well, when there were less humans on earth there was less transfer of knowledge between generations. As time went on with increased such transfer, we did not need to learn things from scratch. This has resulted in gossiping and social media just expands that.
So we feel the need for people to like or retweet what we said because it kinda makes us feel human.
So the next time someone says you are addicted to social media, tell them it ain’t me. Blame it on evolution.
