But what is known is passive viewing replaces, like I said, important stuff, conversation, play, and sleep.
Yeah, no, you're exactly right.
In Professor Haidt's book, The Anxious Generation has done a lot to forward the notion that smartphones are really, really bad for childhood development.
He argues that once you remove play, social interactions, adventure, and what we used to just call childhood, you predictably get weaker language skills, shorter attention spans, and less social connection.
Yes, most famously, there's Dr. John S. Hutton, who published a study that found that higher screen time was associated with lower microstructural integrity of white matter tracks.
And you would be correct.
But having read about the study, I know that this is the part of the brain that supports language, literacy, and related cognitive networks.
But I know this is affecting important stuff in kids' brains.
I don't need to know exactly what all these scientific words mean.
I just need to know that the people who study it definitely know what these words mean.
Yes.
For example, neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath, he has conducted research at Harvard Medical School.
He argues that our kids are the first generation in the past hundred years to be cognitively worse than we are.
Cognitively worse.
I think that is what he is saying.
He argues that this generation performs worse than the one before in areas like attention, memory, working memory, creative thinking, divergent thinking, and critical thinking.
So for roughly the last hundred years, each generation has performed better than the previous one on cognitive test.
This appears to be the first generation to take a step backward, which makes it totally worth studying.
Yeah.
No, you're getting to something important.
