information on blogs and social networks. the problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. actually，much of the information is unimportant，disposable and it distracts(分心) us from more meaningful pursuits. worse still，when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams，we may find it hard to concentrate on what were doing and we have a tendency to forget what we have consumed anyway.a new study from swedens kth royal institute of technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes your short term working memory.our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource.

attempt to stuff more information in the working memory.in fact，when you try to process the information like speech or video，you are going to need partly the same system of working memory，so you are reducing your own working memory capacity. and when you try to store many things in your working memory，you get less good at processing information.it is the periods of downtime of your brainpreferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphone that are needed for memory consolidation and transferring important information to your exposure to new information.

memory，attention and the ability to quickly match numbers to symbols. everybody got worse at the tasks as time went on，but people with hearing loss had an especially sharp decline. on average，a sudden
