Technology Kills--Ground Breaking Study Shows the damage done by excessive Screen Time

CBS's 60 minutes did a segment on the monumental study the NIH (National Institute of Health) is currently doing on the affects of screen time on children (9 and 10 year olds.)

The NIH found a thinning of the cortex in the brains of kids that spend lots of time on screen. The NIH refused to make a judgment about whether this is good, or bad--saying it is usually associated with maturity. Really?  Only 5 or  6 years ago the age of adolescence was extended to 25-28 because of immaturity.

Children that spend more than 2 hours of screen time  don't think as well.

Screen time isolates you. They found a  spike in kids that feel lonely and depressed. There was a  rise in kids cutting themselves. 

Technology also does grave damage to Mother Earth and disconnects us from Her.
