I'm not a fan of linkbait-style titles like this: "Why the modern world is bad for your brain."
How about "Neuroscientist Daniel J Levitin explains how constant multitasking is making us less efficient"?
- asdfologist 12y agoNo, I disagree - here, the linkbaity title is pretty accurate. "Bad for your brain" reflects the article's core idea of multitasking causing cognitive loss, whereas your proposed title doesn't mention it at all.
- chasing 12y agoFair enough, but wouldn't you agree that "the modern world" vague to the point of meaninglessness? Based on the headline, the article could be an article about food, pollution, education, social media, work habits, mobile phones causing brain cancer, vaccines causing autism, etc.
- asdfologist 12y agoYep I agree.
