  • Summary

  • The paper explores the concept of “brain erosion,” which the University of Oxford has named as its 2024 Word of the Year, to describe the progressive deterioration of mental abilities associated with the overconsumption of superficial digital content. It examines the harmful effects of this digital addiction on concentration, critical thinking, and emotional well-being, while proposing strategies to counteract this phenomenon, including adopting “digital hygiene” and favoring analog activities. The article highlights the importance of conscious content consumption to maintain mental health in the digital age. Finally, it puts into perspective the use of the term, from Thoreau to today’s social networks.
