The world of finance is in turmoil. Investors have wiped out a staggering US$2.5 trillion from the Nasdaq as concerns about AI regulations continue to rise.

Did you know that the average person spends over 10 hours a day staring at screens? Crazy, right? It's a whole new world of digital addiction. I mean, we're literally glued to our phones.

I feel like I'm constantly chasing the next dopamine hit, you know? But seriously, have you ever thought about what that means for our brains? It's like we're rewiring our own minds to crave the digital world. But hey, maybe we just need to unplug and appreciate the real world for a bit. What do you think about that, Milka?
