      Article présentant une opinion différente de celle généralement adoptée stipulant que l'utilisation des technologies a des impacts négatifs sur les jeunes. Dans cet article, le psychiatre Richard A. Freidman présente une opinion contraire stipulant que les effets ne sont pas aussi néfastes et alarmants que le mouvement ne le laisse paraître. Note : Cet article ne présente pas mon opinion, mais vaut la peine d'être présenté et ébranle également mon opinion sur le sujet. Je trouve pertinent de le présenter.
  • there is little evidence of an epidemic of anxiety disorders in teenagers
  • There are a few surveys reporting increased anxiety in adolescents

  • self-reported measures
  • overestimate the rates of disorders
  • not clinically significant syndromes
  • But it’s more likely that the epidemic is simply a myth. The more interesting question is why it has been so widely accepted as fact.

  • I believe, is that parents have bought into the idea that digital technology — smartphones, video games and the like — are neurobiologically and psychologically toxic
  • But, once again, these studies cannot tell us whether the brain abnormalities are the result of excessive internet use, or a pre-existing risk factor for it.
  • No surprise there. If I scan your brain while showing you whatever it is that turns you on — sex, chocolate or money, say — your reward pathway will light up like a Christmas tree. But that hardly means you are addicted to these things.

      Effets long terme sur le cerveau?
  • There is a difference between an anxiety disorder and everyday anxiety.
  • Teenagers — and people of all ages — will and should feel anxious occasionally.
  • What I have noticed is that more of my young patients worry a lot about things that don’t seem so serious, and then worry about their worry.

      Serions-nous, parents, trop facilement inquiets? Plus que les générations précédentes?
  • Why, I wondered, didn’t they know this without me?
  • The myth of an epidemic of anxiety disorder rooted in a generation’s overexposure to digital technology reveals an exaggerated idea about just how open to influence our brains really are.

  • Even when we are young and impressionable, our brains have molecular and structural brakes that control the degree to which they can be rewired by experience
  • So don’t assume that there’s something wrong with your kid every time he’s anxious or upset. Our teenagers — and their brains — are up to the challenges of modern life.

  • Either teens are delusional about their social media use, or adults are freaking out over nothing.
  • They are fully aware that spending time on their smartphones detracts from homework and face-to-face communication, and they know that tech companies are out to get their attention, designing products to keep them tethered to their phones.
  • The evidence is overwhelming that, for the most part, teens are doing fine on social media,
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Texting is now teens’ communication method of choice.
  • Social media is an inevitable part of life, with upsides and downsides, and they are dealing as best they can.
  • Sixteen percent report using social media “almost constantly,” and another 22% say they use it several times an hour
  • Through their experiences they are feeling less anxious, less depressed and less lonely
  • teens don’t differentiate the way adults do between in-person and tech-related communication
  • Interacting in real time is risker, and it’s even riskier when you are self-conscious
  • In 2012, 68% said Facebook was their main social media site. In 2018, that figure had plummeted to 15%
  • They find their parents’ smartphone use irritating, too: 33% of teens wish their parents would get off their devices

  • They see and feel like they are not being paid attention, and they probably don’t recognize that they do that, too

  • It’s not kids’ screen time you should worry about – it’s yours
  • Emerging research is starting to look at the role that parents’ screen usage has on a child’s development, and the news isn’t good.

  • unwittingly likely to increase the bad behaviour and tantrums that youngsters often rely on to get attention
  • Children learned the word when the teaching was not interrupted, but when the interaction was interrupted, they didn’t learn the word.
  • The vocal patterns parents everywhere tend to adopt during exchanges with infants and toddlers are marked by a higher-pitched tone, simplified grammar, and engaged, exaggerated enthusiasm. Though this talk is cloying to adult observers, babies can’t get enough of it. Not only that: One study showed that infants exposed to this interactive, emotionally responsive speech style at 11 months and 14 months knew twice as many words at age 2 as ones who weren’t exposed to it,” she writes.
  • Perhaps more alarmingly, Christakis also points out that distracted parents put their children in danger.
