Brain Rot and National Resilience: A Review of Digital Threats to Human Resource Quality and National Stability in the Global Information Age
Main Article Content
Abstract
The phenomenon of "brain rot," or the decline in cognitive function due to excessive digital media consumption, poses a significant threat to human resource quality and national stability in the global information age. This article explores the varied effects of brain rot, including its effects on cognitive abilities, mental health, social cohesion, and national resilience. This study utilizes a qualitative approach, drawing upon recent research and statistical data to analyze the detrimental effects of brain rot. The findings emphasize the importance of digital literacy, responsible media consumption, and a collaborative approach involving the government, private sector, and civil society to safeguard human resource development and national security in the face of this emerging digital challenge.
