As a teenager, I had the internet on my desktop home PC, I miss those times, having internet access but not with me always. Now, it’s very hard to put this phone down.
Rich kids in the 90's had internet and also similar access with a laptop. Nobody of those has emotional or physical problems, if the parents didn't fail them or had state education instead.
There has been a somewhat notable change for those of us that are (relatively young) college professors in recent years with the incoming classes. This anecdotally began around 2017-2020, and behavioral changes as well as alterations in social skills have followed. Attention span, problem solving, questioning of sources, even general literacy (like ability to spell without spell-check or use punctuation, since phones do that for them) and mathematical abilities are apparently suffering even in the highest achievers. Engineering students are entering calculus-based physics classes in R1 Universities that have a minimal understanding of algebra. It's weird to look at someone that seems roughly the same age as you, but because they've grown up with screens in their hands since infancy they think so differently.
I think one of the biggest concerns is failure to understand social cues after spending your entire adolescence only interacting online. You might not be able to study it with an MRI, but it's observable by how our social interactions are all getting worse
The problem is about what and how you are interacting online or offline. If people lack these qualities, some go into the shizoid mode and just be online. Some, don't lack these qualities and are often times online for education or relaxation. Introverts to stay out of discussions, extroverts for connecting with people.
I didn’t get my first cell phone until freshman year of high school. Social media websites like, Facebook and MySpace, never interested me. Still don’t.
As someone born in 1997, i can remember a time without iPhones. When i was young the razor cell phone was probably the coolest thing there was right next to maybe the Blackberry with all its buttons.
certain technology was available when I was a kid so we had access to the internet too and I don't think the smartphones were available when I was a kid but like we still had cell phones too
That would turn the US into China, which is a communist country. No regulation to control immediate usage is necessary and any such regulation would infringe upon US citizens fundamental rights, but this study will help provide understanding so that people can voluntarily decide what’s best for them.
Witness the rise of the quaranteens. An addiction of conditioning incredibly difficult to overcome. Heard a koala bear wont recognize a eucalyptus leaf placed on the table as food, it will starve to death. Tree stars!
What about the old 🗝️ days when you bought your child 🚸 A game 🎯🎮 board 🛹 or A TV and game system in 1968-1986 all the way up too 2007 so your child 🚸 can problem solve for themselves my son's do.. both of them I did the same thing as my mother did too us kept us busy. Doing recreational therapy and physical therapy and occupational therapy and crafts designing things like TRYING TO make our own costumes for Halloween 🎃👻.
Anderson is a sexy, good looking guy, but at the same time, he looks creepy! In Andersons' case, his creepiness is his sexiness', I know one thing though, I most definitely would not throw him out of my bed.
It’s likely reduced sleep causing the brain changes. That connection is proven. It’s also known that the light from screens interferes with the release of melatonin and generally interferes with sleep. What other changes screen time is causing will be very interesting to find out.
The effects from lack interaction with other's and the desensition to violence is absolutely scary.
This was 5 years ago. What's the NIH update? It's 2023.

Apps are designed to be addictive.
I'm exactly with you - I was a lot smarter with my time when I was a kid!

That's why China already produces more scientific papers than the US and by 2050 will have 2 times the economy of the US.
When anti-intellectualism continues to run as rampant as it does in our society, these outcomes will become more and more prevalent.

Me watching this interview from my cell phone. As someone who works in educational their definitely a change.
Watching this in my phone feels kind of ironic😂
You're not alone 😅
Keep them in school monday through Friday and limit to 30 min weekends tv only no iPads. It’s working great.
Very Interesting
Our goal is to raise our kids happy and healthy
Overuse of the iPhone is not good
“iPhone”
I didn’t believe it would be a problem but it is my 16 year old is so emotional stuck it is a shame. If I could go back no screen time.

Wait, so were drawing conclusions based on a pilot study of 15 toddlers where going from 60% to 45% is just TWO toddlers? Ok then …
Great morning to you from Kenneth D in Hamilton New Zealand.
And yet...we are there still and perfecting. Hum...frequent MRIs, we were told that was bad as well, 🤔
,,
I have no tech.at home and kids are forced on tech.in school and personality change when at school is night and day..
*do we really need more Elon Musk?
We're already Cyborbs. Since our smartphones and labtops are an extension of us.
1:10 more than 7 hours a day
New regulations are needed. Immediate access to technology is quite detrimental.

Stop trying to get gov and corporations to do a parent’s job.
But aren't the parents busy on their phones?!
I worry about the phone zombies walking around in traffic.

I worry for the kids of today . Because no one before generation alpha has seeing this level of addiction.
OVERTIME
I hate cell phones
60 MIN
Is that iphone 6?

Don't give them what they want when they want you could be in big trouble right? The future is very scary right now.
Wow
🎉
Screen time.
OMELCHENKO
7 hours a day? WTH
This is why we are lockdown right?

Why would you assume it to cause problems? You just told me that part of the brain developed faster. Might be a bad thing, might be a good thing.
Yikes. Tell us you grew up with unlimited screen time, without telling us.
scary movies forever. But our reality is so much worse.

@anires1195 Hello again. I unexpectedly discovered this presentation so thought I would let you known in case you are interested.
