‘Take mental snapshots’  <\/strong><\/address><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We live in an increasingly digital world. Most of our time is spent either looking at a screen or capturing (every) moment(s) of our life with our mobile devices. A recent study has shown that taking pictures of objects makes us much less likely to remember details than when we simply observe them. Most believe that a picture is worth a thousand words…yet they also seems to hinder our memory recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So put down the camera. Take mental snapshots. You\u2019ll thank us later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Flock Together’ \u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Spending time and sharing moments with others increases our ability to recall details and makes us more aware of our surroundings. So next time you host a party, why not make it a no-phone party. Invite guests to drop their phone in a box upon arrival and only recuperate them at the end of the evening..it will no doubt be a night to remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
