Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are changing our behavior. We are communicating more through these platforms, which means phone calls and text messages are becoming less popular. Online shopping is also causing a decline in traditional stores. Our towns and cities look different now because of what's available online. How does this affect our brains? Having a wealth of information at our fingertips is changing the way we work. Millennials, for example, tend to be more forgetful due to constant distractions from the internet. Memory is affected because new information prevents effective storage. We are also becoming addicted to our smartphones, constantly checking for messages and updates. This habit makes it harder for our brains to transition to deeper thinking. Furthermore, the constant flow of information is causing a loss of cognitive control, making it difficult to focus on what's important. However, technology's impact on our brains isn't necessarily a bad thing. Inventions throughout history have always changed how we think.

I take the motorbike down to the beach. I decide against the paid parking spot and go further down to where the locals go, I’m a local after all. On the way I thought a Coca-Cola would suffice to defeat the pit of guilt for an angered night that burned alongside a steady, scattered hangover. There’s a little restaurant there that’s overpriced and sells those ‘I’ve been to Asia’ type tourist meals that people flock to. They’re fixing the side of the restaurant and the aqua blue tin sheeting has been pulled off and they’re using a drill to reconnect it. I remember that I, too, know how to complete such a task. I walked to the sand and seated myself on a red, leather cushioned lounge chair parked under a large umbrella, along a line of red, leather cushioned lounge chairs parked under umbrellas. It’s satisfying enough. I remember how my ex-girlfriend - the woman I asked to marry me and was engaged to for a short period - used to require sculling a can of coke as a means of curing a hangover. I remember my sister saying the same thing just a few days ago. I remember that my Mum loved Coca-Cola in a can too. Before she passed, after I’d finished a long day at work and finished all of our grocery shopping, being sure to bring home the coke that she asked for, she sent me back to the supermarket to exchange the Coca-Cola bottle for a can. She always preferred it in cans - nay, required it in cans. I sipped away before agreeing and sculling, thinking maybe it will help. “Hi sir, you want something to drink?” I knew what was coming. “No Chí cám ơn. Oh I can’t sit here? Ahhh..”

The Question Recently a seemingly six-word innocuous question was posed by a friend: “Which do you hate the most?” It related to which month of winter people most dread. January, the shorter February, or yet another one?
