Why We Love It
From Addictions expert. Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, shows how technology has profoundly affected the brains of children―and not for the better.
This is a must read for any parent who wants to really be saavy and informed on what exactly is happening when their child uses technology.
"Tech companies are investing so much money in making video games addicting to children. They hire the top neuroscientists and hire teenage beta testers to beta-test their new videos with. If the teenage tester's blood pressure doesn't go to 180/140 within 2 minutes they go back and tweak the game to make it more arousing and exciting." he tells us in the Glow documentary.
Some say that glowing screens might even be good for kids―a form of interactive educational tool. We get it. Just about every public school in the country gives children laptops and desktops and expects them to devices at home as well.
Glow Kids shows us how even age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity―has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation.
We love that this book Glow Kids, also includes an opt-out letter and a "quiz" for parents in the back of the book.
A growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis. Most shocking of all, recent brain imaging studies conclusively show that excessive screen exposure can neurologically damage a young person’s developing brain in the same way that cocaine addiction can.
Kardaras dives into the sociological, psychological, cultural, and economic factors involved in the global tech epidemic with one major goal: to explore the effect all of our wonderful shiny new technology is having on kids.
