Facebook. We all know it, we all love it, and we most probably all use it. But, have you ever stopped and thought that it might be doing more harm than good to our cognitive health? While we innocently scroll our feed, looking at pictures of last night’s work summer party and reminisce about those deadly flaming Sambuca’s, we might actually be altering our memory. You could argue that this is a great thing, after all, who wants to remember the fool they became after knocking back those flaming Sambuca’s? However, photo sharing on Facebook might be changing the way we remember certain events.

Award-winning psychologist, Tracy Packiam Alloway, says: ‘The old school way of remembering facts and information is not necessary. With Google at our finger tips, we don’t need to.’ So, do we rely on Facebook and social media to relay our memories to us? Is Facebook making our brains lazy?

Immerse yourself in a world of doodles this summer at The Exhibitionist Hotel in South Kensington, until July 28th. Here you will be able to admire the serious doodling by the great doodler himself, Sam Cox.

As a youngster, like the rest of us, Mr Cox took great pleasure in drawing over anything and everything in sight, whether it be school desks or the bedroom walls. However, while the majority of us adults grew out of the doodling phase, Mr Cox, or Mr Doodle as he is also known, decided to continue scribbling and turn it into a profession.

Mr Doodle believes that art should be fun, light-hearted, and something we can enjoy away from the seriousness of everyday life. From sketchbooks to tunnels, Mr Doodle has now taken his skilful squiggles to the corridors of The Exhibitionist Hotel, where every inch of the space is covered in his creative artwork.

Inspired by his childhood love for cartoons and graphics on cereal boxes, Mr Doodle’s creations have given the art world a breath of fresh air. Also, have you seen what he’s done to his bedroom? After watching this, you might even reconsider your home decorative style: http://bit.ly/2v08uPR
