智能手机和平板电脑的普及，造成越来越多“低头族”的出现，而过度依赖科技会导致“数码痴呆症”等问题，当中以大脑仍在发育的青少年最受影响。近年患记忆障碍的青少年增加，有中学生记不住家门密码，要查看手机才能进门。

Digital dementia refers to impaired memory and cognitive functioning due to the extended use of digital devices.

“数码痴呆”指的是由于过度使用数码设备导致记忆力和认知能力受损。

Digital dementia is when people rely on digital devices like personal computers or cellular phones to the extent that they cannot even recall their own phone numbers.

有时候人们依赖个人电脑或电话等数码设备，都到了想不起自己的电话号码是多少的地步，这就是数码痴呆。

Sufferers are also reported to suffer emotional underdevelopment, with children more at risk than adults because their brains are still growing.

据报道，“数码痴呆”患者还有情感发育不健全的状况，儿童比成年人风险更大，因为他们的大脑还处于发育阶段。
