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.
TECHNOLOGY KILLS
