Brain Rot: Escape the Digital Fog
Brain rot - a term Oxford University Press (OUP) has announced as its Word of the Year for 2024. Here’s a poem explaining the same:
In a world of endless scrolling,
Where screens keep on controlling,
Our minds feel tired, our focus shot—
This creeping thing is Brain Rot.
The hours fly, the days feel slow,
Our thoughts aren’t sharp—they barely flow.
We miss the world beyond the screen,
The beauty of life, unseen, serene.
But wait—there’s hope, a way to heal.
Step outside, remember what’s real.
Feel the sun, hear birds in song,
Reconnect with where you belong.
It’s not too late to take a stand,
To put your phone back in your hand—
Not as a master, but as a tool,
To live your life by your own rule.
Digital wellness starts today:
Log off, look up, find your way.
Let Brain Rot go—embrace the plot,
Of a fuller life where you’re not caught.
