Abstract

The development of communication technology, especially mobile technology, which has become almost indispensable, leads in some situations to negative effects on users' cognitive abilities, effects named "digital dementia". The diagnosis of digital dementia has been said to bring together a series of symptoms similar to those of Alzheimer's in the case of intensive use of mobile phones and the habit of performing several digital activities simultaneously at the same time.
