- Kids are rotting their minds by spending hours upon hours in front of screens. That's what parents say anyway. But what impact does all this screen time really have? Trace spent hours researching- in front of computer screen- to get a definitive, scientific answer.

So... I shouldn't be on my computer around 10 hrs per day?
LifeLessXD basically.
@Astro K. well i got 12 hours a day on phone kille me...
I'm very eager to see how kids who grew up with smart devices in very young years will develope. Seeing only 2D in the first years where you're supposed to understand 3D could make a very big difference in later life, or maybe non at all. There are people with whole parts of their brain missing and those people are still able to live (more or less) normally. I actually hope that it won't make too much of a difference as they didn't really have a chance to say 'No, I don't want that tablet because it will make me dumb.' or sth like that.
who else is here for school
I agree, it's become more of a pandemic with each passing year and we wonder why new generations are so lost when it comes to the everyday world. People in third world countries are more knowledgeable of the real world around them and how it works because they live in it and struggle for survival everyday compared to these kids with so much information in front them but little direction to what is correct or how to discern what's plausible.
Every generation thinks they are the most smart
Me included.
I think this question should really be looked at hard when people start using AR like hololens in earnest because I could see many people spending all their waking hours using something like hololens because AR promises to become the true personal assistant we all want our smart phones to be.
Update from the future: We're getting really close to that now! Apple has AR and Google is on their tail! Better start emailing the top psychologists now!
Just to add to your point, - the touch screen have more bacteria.. might not be safe for kids either...
You guys do know that it's called a tablet and not an ipad when talking about tablets in general? That's like calling a smartphone an iphone.
***** You know about it and you still do it?
[Insert random insult + bash]
+1 for apple's ruthless marketing
All touch screen phones are smartphones
An iPad is actually another name for a tablet.
An iPad is a name of device which is in the category of a tablet form factor
so I cant be on pc for 15 hours a day?
Damn
This is technology from 30 40 years ago just now being realest on the public (examples) Snapchat facial recognition fingerprint etc etc , the fact is they knew the danger back then and they still know the danger of them today they just don't care
i feel the same way about studying. at the university level we barely get any interaction time and most work is done independently.
Not to hate but these kind of videos and opinions are just outdated because technology is growing and screens become better and more suitable for people. Grow up boomers please, generations are changing.
I realized how low I used to be back in the day
Could you do something like this but for adults, so it shows us how much TV time is acceptable.
just get kids to watch discovery channel, i learned alot from wildlife specials, unfortunately channels like the history channel dont show alot of history anymore, they show reality shows instead >_
My 3 year old nephew can't say a full alphabet but he can use any phone/tablet instantly. You can't leave your phone anywhere in reach.
The problem with computers is that you can do SO much on the computer. You can learn languages, chat with friends, watch movies and tv... You can have almost all of your hobbies on the computer. It feels bad being so dependent on a screen, but it's so convenient.
Up until I was 10 I didn't really use technology much. I had a Nokia phone to call my parents and a Nintendo ds. For my eleventh christmas I was given a laptop, for the twelfth a tv. For my thirteenth (this year) I was given an iPad. I think it's good when kids aren't into technology until there about 10 or older. I still go out with my friends most days and cook, paint and read
This is a true gem. I recently enjoyed a similar book, and it was a true hidden gem. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
I'm 24 and i think the amount of screen time i get is atrocious. I would gladly give up hours of that for block time
I was rarely allowed to watch TV as a kid and didn't have access to the family computer until 8 then I got a mobile at 11 for high school and my own computer at 13... Now I'm 17 and I have a phone, laptop and iPod. Although I resented my parents at the time for never letting me have gameboys or game consoles... I'm glad they didn't now because by the time I got my own tech, I was mature enough to regulate my time spent on them. My younger brother on the other has received these things earlier i
My Grandfather on my Dad's side es de Puerto Rico -- y su abuelo era de España.
Finally, someone who proves that technology isn't totally evil or totally benign. Like all parts of life, it is about balancing what you do to get the best results. So go play with your electronic gadgets. And then go run around outside (especially if you live somewhere where you can go sledding in the winter...)
I'm more worried about the ad exposure that comes with a lot of screen exposure
in his life as he's a bit spoilt as the youngest child... Now he has addiction and socialising issues. They might be connected they might not be but face-to-face interaction is definitely something lost, he was fine at socialising before he got his Xbox and phone etc. but since that he's found it increasingly difficult
I'm completely against technology. I have never used the Internet for anything in my whole life nor will I ever and I think people who do are terrible people. I'm especially suspicious of people who use the internet to share their oppinion with others. ucwidt?
i am only on it like 2 hours a day but some of my friends are on it ALL NIGHT how do you even stay up?...
"5 hours a day Since I'm 6l
Well i grew up with toys in early childhood and later in life spent a lot of time by playing sports with friends or just hanging out,im 16.but then i see my younger cousins who are not even 1 and have access to phones but they still play around,so i think limiting it to a minimu is the key
It's even worse when parents give smartphone to kids before they even understand how to use computer.
My younger cousin is 11 and he doesn't know how to open youtube on a browser, because he always used the app.
Wtf person doesn't know how to open youtube?
I guess we'll see that in a few years...
There are already kids who are raised on screen devices, let's see how they end up in 2020 - 2025...
To be honest: I'm as afraid as I'm excited!
as a kid I used to tinker on things like disassembling my toys and then reassemble it, as a result I have good grades in robotics, and I love repairing my broken things on my own and usually succeed at it :) by the way no ipad at that time...
I was always on the PC since I was 5 years old and I think it has aided my development educationally in almost every way. I've dedicated my time to learning programming languages, expanding my vocabulary and knowledge in computing and biology and the universe.As the DNews reporter suggests, it can potentially ruin social development through developing anxiety and depression disorders, be careful how you regulate computing time but remember computers are great aids for information and discovery.
At the beginning, I wouldn't ask "what's wrong with this magazine?", I would ask why the toddler has it in the first place. it's literally an Marie Claire magazine. they shouldn't have it in the first place. also, that kid's like 1 or 2, so they probably don't know how to read one yet.
also, when I see something interesting on TV, I just watch it. nothing else to it.
(sorry for that whole rant.)
I agree that the devices should be used as a teaching device not a babysitter. I thought this video was about too many (multi-computer) monitors - the three or four command center setup.
I was affected to my iPad because it's my favourite game I play it morning nights and everyday is there a way to stop playing iPad because I might get cancer
thats a bad example.. I'm using a TV right now to watch youtube and play games, I have a monitor but its only 720p so I use a TV instead and you can watch the same shows as on TV online anyway, such as if you like Family Guy, you can go to the Fox website right now and watch the last 4 episodes that came out within the period of a month.
When i was 3 my sis show me how to play games but i got addicted then i was no longer addicted at it cause i knew i only have 1 life so i spent my time doing something natural
Joke's on us - Steve jobs' children didn't have screens.
I watch alot of tv and i can still read and reconize books and stuff
Before title *Oh shit, I got 6 ips panels, I need to quit my job!*
After video *Ok, I can turn the other 3 back on, GabeN is love.*
The irony of this
Can You Tell Me In My Case Im I have A Mid-Term Holiday But Im Stuck In Home Nothing to do but look at the screen And Rek Peoples Faces On Roblox ON My Computer What Can I Do Else
AND MY PARENTS SAY DO SOMETHING ELSE WHAT SHOULD I DO
sorta? its not quite the same since everything (online) is on-demand so you don't have to deal with ads and can watch whatever you want, although you can still watch your favorite TV shows.
I stopped using the real world
I think kids shouldn't start dealing with technology until they're like 6 or 8. I didn't touch a computer until I was 12 and I was happy... I used to go out and play with the kids in my neighborhood. Now parents like Trace said use technology as baby sitters and kids grow up alongside artifacts instead of friends... I just think parents should pay a little more of attention to their kids instead of their responsibilities.
This is a fascinating video! Especially as an elementary school teacher.
Heard a lot about plastic toys being very bad for kids, the chemicals in them, can you do a video about that?
when you have to watch this cause your teacher assigns it to you✌😗
do u go to wauseon middle school?
There's a lot of good learning games/apps on the ipad, tablets, smartphones, and computers and on TV there are shows like Sesame Street that help kids learn too. I think it's about moderation. Give them blocks and other physical toys too and make sure their screen time is limited. Also I wouldn't let kids have their own device until they're older and understand the responsibilities that come with having the device.
I wonder what a child who was raised on devices like the ipad far too much would be like as a adult
My grandparents used to feed chickens every morning and milk cows before breakfast. My parents used to ride bikes without helmets and pretend to kill Indians. I used to watch hours of TV and ride in the back window of my parents car. My kid spends hours playing with all the knowledge ever known to man at his finger tips.
adblock is the love of my life! but you can't really adblock a T.V. or an Iphone or a tablet ( or maybe you can adblock a tablet idk ) it kind of only works for your home computer
Kids are getting too much screen time. However; I was watching TV before I was 2, so what kinds of screens are we talking about?
My Pc has a tv screen instead of a computer monitor, that counts as tv time doesnt it?
Would we better prepare our kids for the digital age by presenting them with digital tools to meddle with ?
at age 2 or under, a kid is more likely to throw something of the ground or put it in their mouth. so, toys it is. Plus, kids need outside time and time with other kids actually interacting with eachother, not playing 2 player on a game. kids definitely get too much screen time.
When I have children, I buy a 3D printer and print blocks ^^
i watch 0 hours of tv per week :|
my pc is too good to use a tv
I agree. Young kids don't need these devices. They should be playing with toys and other kids, not tablets and phones.
I think i was kind of luckily raised right by accident in this matter, As a child my parents gave me packaging Styrofoam to play with to build stuff, some Lego duplos and later on transformer like toys, I learnt a lot about basic construction and physics and I always had a high results on those mind-space tests, I got a bit of interaction by 7 to 10 with an old PC's from the 80's so I learned the basics of coding, & by 12 to 19 with the current tech, knowing well how to use it & appreciating it
I think no matter what we should limit time used on these as far as free time. I see a lot of people my age with no hobbies other than checking their facebook page, pintrest, and twitter. That is not good! Granted these are older children/teens that I am referring to. I just don't understand how they can spend so much down time not doing something physical or mental.
I watched one hour of TV this week: Justin Warner's Rebel Eats. Now if we're counting TH-cam... I don't honestly know. I can say that having TH-cam has many me mostly uninterested in "traditional" TV. TV has more commercials and worst of all, it too often entertains to such a large audience that it's never tailored to all my interests. What I wonder is if these studies took computers into account too.
I was sort of expecting less of an emphasis on the effects for children (Which is great and interesting info!) But more of a general influence of screens on human health and the science-backed facts about that! Maybe a future episode? Or a past one I missed :)
I think we need better screen devices to let us experience texture.
My brother watches 9-10houds yt everyday what to do
It's not the screen that rends the mind...
It's the TV shows.
little kids are allright. i come here for 11 15 year olds.i am 11 and i want to know if stayng on the pc or laptop can damage your brain memory eyes and concentracion.if yes than PCs Phones TVs Tablets are the worst thing that could happen beacause we have to learn.Although i like to play or watch on my laptop i think it does very bad to my brain.And even if i know this and i try to not watch tv pc and other stuff i still cant stop because this is for me and other kids like a drug.
Well why do you put this ON A *SCREEN*
Technology is too expensive. I'll have my kid run around with a stick in the backyard like I did.
To much screen time. Worst thing is it ruins your eyes.
I watched this.is it considered too much screen time
NO, NOT ENOUGH SCREEN TIME. 23.99 HRS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ME.
(joking)
but seriously, legos are expensive when you buy a set of 1000000 T_T
Then don't buy 1000000. Buy a few every occation and let it add up. That also helps learning as the kid gets new opportunities every now and then but has still enough time to figure everything out before getting the next 'upgrade'. Hmmm, but I guess you weren't really serious about that....
***** I was joking about that, too. The "seriously" part meant that I was joking.
RBLXDev Yeah, thought so. I shouldn't have taken that literally.
*****
the problem with Lego nowadays is that they theme everything around *_TV & MOVIES_*
I don't spend much time watching TV anymore, nor do I have any kind of mobile phone, or device like and ipad, ipod, ect. In my opinion, kids are getting too much screen time, at too young an age. I've seen too often kids who don't understand things, or think they know everything because they'll have an iphone at 7 years old. Personally, I don't think a kid should even be able to try owning an iphone, ipod, ipad, mobile phone, ect. Until at least 14 or older. This is based off my experiences.
What If we create something JUST/ONLY for reading, sharing E-Books, safe search browsing, etc. No Games, no Music, no videos can be saved in the device, (browsing videos and music are still available).
Design it so it looks like a book, Folio size, can be flipped open, Stylus pen included. Auto save anything you write just Like a book, very similar.
Make it as cheap as possible, make paper expensive so tree cutting also expensive. Papers only used for Inter/National archive.
Just an Idea~ thx.
I SAY WE HAVE AS MUCH SCREEN AS WE FEEL (2 day later) my eyes hurt
Hardcore gamer at 13? You should be more focused on school bro
WELL FINE I LIKED MY BLOCKS ANYWYAS!
All I really do now is stay on the computer all day. At first it felt like I lost a limb once I started to get on the computer more than the TV but that went away quickly
I play I think more than 16-17 hours every day for a month now and today I’m trying to do its 13-14 hours a day today
I've been playing video games 5 hours a day since I'm 6 and I'm one of the smartest kids in my class
how old are you? 7?
We'll adapt
Less, because lack of ability to realize how things work on a basic level is very harmful.
Yup... I'm taking that iPad away now. My son is hooked on that shit like crack lol. Time for some old school fun
SiLenTuce808 poor kid. You gonna do some stuff to him aint you
Too much screen for everyone, kids especially 'cause it slows development. Unless they read books on internet, which is very unlikely.
I always hated when children under 13 already have their own phone... I don't know why...
why you don't mention PCs?
I dunno, I think that's kinda sad.
So, Dominguez tell me... eres Mexicano?
too little screen time
Too much screen time. More legos!
true though
Ive built a fantasy land it's awesome !
Takeem Myers leggos! When I was a kid I built a battleship
does it have an app to dispense small objects?
it annoys me when I see little kids with ipods and ipads, I don't thnk that is what they need
I am worried about the cuteness radiation from all the kittens,
Basically what he is saying is that once we create a 3D ipad, children will no longer need their parents.
Yes. I'm 15 and whenever something fun happens on TV, I watch it.
I had a leep frog tablet when I where 3
i was playing sega alot as a kid but i think i ended up pretty normal, maybe just a little shy
Well here in Texas, it's either too hot, or too cold
you should do more on the matter.
And LEGOs. Which is blocks, but for when you gain better fine-motor control and detail-obsession.
Don't let my dad see this!!!
