How Does Brain Work?

Theories about how brain works remain a topic of debate. It is agreed, though, that the hippocampus, a part of the brain, is undeniably important for memory. When we experience something, the information is sent via our senses to the hippocampus, where it is processed. Scientists believe that brain cells called neurons first transform the sensory stimuli we experience into images in our immediate memory. Then, these images are sent to the hippocampus and stored temporarily in short term memory. In the hippocampus information is organized, and it is during this process that parts of the image of our experience fade away. Finally, certain information is then transferred to long term memory in a section in the frontal lobe of the brain known as the cerebral cortex. Scientists think this process may happen while we are sleeping, but exactly how the information is transferred from one area of the brain to another is a mystery.

Are people becoming technological zombies?

High technologies are developed now. There are many jobs which are done by machines in place of people. Machines make our life easier and save much time. But the thing is that we become dependant, unemployed and often overuse them. People are becoming zombies without brains
This makes people move rarely so makes them become lazy and ill. People think less and become less intellectual.
The only solution of the problem is to realize the dependence and to understand the advantages and disadvantages of technologies, to use them as much as necessary and never overuse.
