3. News can be irrelevant
There are so many people who believe that they will be smarter if they keep track of the latest news. However, they are terribly wrong. On the contrary, news makes you dumber since it distracts you from what is relevant to you. Instead of building relationships and improving your financial situation you waste time reading newspapers or watching TV news. And instead of studying in order to get a new profession or building a different career you stay who and what you are without further development and growth as a personality. If the news is irrelevant, then you definitely should not pay attention to it.

4. News significantly inhibits thinking
When people think, they concentrate. The process requires focus and focus, in turn, required uninterrupted time. News is structured in a way that won’t let you think without being interrupted. News can be compared to viruses that reprogram your brain and you no longer feel when you stop thinking. The more news you watch the less smart and more shallow you become. Moreover, your memory also suffers in this case. Your comprehension starts declining too. The worst kind of news is the one you find online – it takes effort not to click on the numerous links.
