Popcorn brain’ is a metaphor to explain the multitasking and overstimulation caused by the digital world.
It was first coined in 2011 by David M Levy , whose books include Mindful Tech and No Time to Think.
Levy ’s suggestion is that the brain has become so accustomed to incessant digital yip-yap notification dings, new tabs, adverts, fatuous content, cute pandas that it mimics that frenetic pace.
