Today the whole world is obsessed with gadgets: smartphones, tablets and other digital devices. Together with them, the virus penetrates into the world of digital dementia. And it's not a joke, it is diagnosed. In 2007, experts have noticed that every year more and more children - representatives of the digital generation suffer from attention deficit disorder, memory loss, low self-control, cognitive impairment, depression, and depression. Studies show that in mind representatives of the digital generation observed changes similar to those that occur after traumatic brain injury or in the early stages of dementia - dementia, which usually occurs in old age.

It's hard to believe, but the seven-year average European has spent more than a year at the screens of your life (24 hours), and 18-year-old - more than four years!





you saying now absolutely other children? Yes, other children, but the brain have the same, he was a man a thousand years ago - 100 billion neurons, each of which is associated with ten thousands of his own kind.

The brain needs to develop and feed. All of our thoughts, actions, solutions to complex problems and leave a trail of deep thought in our brain. «Nothing can replace that children receive from their own free and independent thinking as they explore the physical world and are faced with something new» em>, - claims the British psychology professor Tanya Byron.

You'll be shocked, but since 1970 the radius of activity of children (the space around the house, in which children are free to explore the world) fell by 90%! The world has shrunk to the screen of your smartphone. Children forgotten and, even worse, just do not know what it is - to run in the rain, to let boats, climb trees or just chatting with each other. They sit for hours, buried in your smartphone. But they need to develop their muscles, aware of the risks they are prepared for the world, and simply interact with their friends. «It's amazing how quickly formed a completely new type of environment where the taste, smell and touch are not encouraged, where most of the time we sit at the screen and not a walk in the fresh air and do not spend time talking face to face" em>, - says Susan Greenfield. We definitely have something to worry about.





The brain is formed when there is external stimuli, and the more they will be - is better for the brain. It is therefore very important for children to explore the world physically, but virtually. This must be the brains, like a thousand years ago.

Also, a child needs a healthy and restful sleep. But today's children are not able to get out off the Internet and computer games. This greatly reduces the duration of their sleep and leads to violations. How can there be development, when you're tired and you have a headache, and school assignments can not climb in a head ?!

You may ask, how digital technology can change a child's brain? Firstly, the amount of external stimuli is limited due to monotonous hanging on the Internet. The child does not get him the necessary experience to develop a sufficiently critical areas of the brain responsible for empathy, self-control, decision-making ... And that does not work, dies. After all, a person who has ceased to walk, his legs atrophied? Children are not used to store information - it is easier to find it in search engines. So much for the memory problems. They did not train her.





Do you think that kids are much smarter thanks to the Internet? Do you know that the current eleven-year carry out tasks on a level that showed eight or nine-year children 30 years ago. The researchers note that one of the main reasons for this is life in the virtual world.

«I am afraid that the digital technology infantiliziruyut brain, turning it into a kind of brain of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, which can not concentrate and live in the present moment» em>, - says Susan Greenfield. < br />
But you can still save her children! Just limit the time to use all sorts of gadgets. You'll be surprised, but Steve Jobs, guru of the digital industry, it did so. His children do not use iPads and other gadgets they were forbidden to use at night and on weekends.

Chris Anderson, editor in chief of the American magazine «Wired», one of the founders of 3D Robotics, also limit their children's use of gadgets. Rule Anderson - no screens and gadgets in the bedroom! «I, like anyone else, I see a danger of excessive enthusiasm for the Internet. I myself have faced this problem, and do not want the same problems were my children » em>.

The sons of the creator of Blogger service and Twitter can use their tablets and smartphones no more than 1 hour per day, and the director OutCast Agency, restricts the use of gadgets in the home 30 minutes a day. His younger children do not have the gadgets.

Here's your answer to the question "what to do?". Take care of the younger generation. Think about what kind of future awaits them in 10-20 years if they now spend half a day in front of screens its cutting-edge gadgets.

If your friends have kids, be sure to tell them about the digital dementia!
