Which way is the causal connection? Do they have less risk of dementia because they use the internet, or do they use the internet because their cognitive skills are better?
Came to say this. Correlation just not equal causation.
There could be a causal connection, but it could just be in the other direction.
I'd like to see lower dementia risk get more serious about its relationship with internet use.
I don’t think any causality has been shown in either direction.
Less dementia, more exposition to phishing and scams...
They need those brain cells to combat the scams, and hence, less dementia. ;-)
My brain is powered by memes. Memory? More like memery.
So Twitter actually is good for your brain?
What a paradox.
