Generation of screens. Are ubiquitous screens harmless or deadly?
Tablets for small children were introduced to the market 8 years ago without any research. Pediatricians and psychologists sound the alarm. More and more often they notice problems with speech and emotions in small patients who spend up to 6 hours in front of the screen. For a 2-year-old child, 3 hours before the screen is already excessive exposure. The screen poses risks in the form of weight deficit, sleep disorders and learning difficulties. Excessive exposure to the speed of image and sound later in life causes a lack of concentration and attention in tasks that require concentration, and there are disorders of interaction between the child and the parent.
Research on the development of digitization is carried out all over the world. Up to the age of 2, the child's brain is not able to analyze images on the screen. The digital industry fights for our attention, while portals and social media use a system of rewards in the form of likes and praise, and hence addictions, especially through computer games.
In China, parents send their children aged 12-18 to rehab because they have lost contact with their families. These children are disciplined - 2 hours, drill, meditation and a lot of outdoor activities. The stay lasts from several weeks to even a year. Introduced there, a ban on computer games between 10 pm and 6 am and the possibility of playing up to 1.5 hours for minors, but this is only on paper, because there are difficulties with enforcing the introduced regulations.
So be careful with moderation and common sense.
