      Great quote - no effect on those that played video games.
  • When you separate the different types of screen out, the effects start to vary.
  • "It doesn't say anything about what you're using that time for."
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • For instance, a recent longitudinal study of 11,000 British children found that those who watched TV for 3 hours or more a day at age 5 had a small increase in behavioural problems two years later compared with those who watched for under an hour. But they found no effects at all for those who played computer games.
  • Passively watching TV is not the same as learning to read on a touchscreen, which is not the same as killing monsters on a console
  • First of all, lumping all screens into one category is not helpful. "Screen time is a really enticing measure because it's simple – it's usually described as the number of hours a day using screen-based technology. But it's completely meaningless,"
  • "The best research suggests that the content children view is the best predictor of cognitive effects,"
  • But they found no effects at all for those who played computer games.
  • "Children will learn from what they watch, whether that means learning letters and numbers, slapstick humour or aggressive behaviour,
  • The study found that all the children enjoy reading more when they look at stories using books and a touchscreen compared to just books.
  • children who watch age-appropriate, educational TV programmes often do better on tests of school readiness.
  • rise in BMI
  • hard to tease apart whether screen time actually causes the effects or whether they are linked in some other way
  • "It is impossible to determine with certainty that TV is causing obesity, and it is likely that other factors are involved in the complex problem of childhood obesity,
  • Her own studies have shown that children who struggle to learn using books often made more progress with iPads.
  • research in schools also found that iPads made children more cooperative and helped quieter kids to speak up
  • children receive immediate feedback
  • But they found no effects at all for those who played computer games
  • What is becoming clear is that it's not the technologies themselves we should be worried out but how they are used and how people interact with them
  • A lot of it is common sense. Don't unthinkingly hand over your device. There are educational apps whose benefits are backed up by research, says Flewitt.
  • Five hours sitting in front of the TV is not the same as 5 hours of some TV, a couple of hours playing on Dance Dance Revolution or some other kind of active game, followed by a Skype session with a grandparent.

    With iOS 5 you can now use AirPlay to "mirror" your entire iPad screen and display or project it. All that is required is an iPad 2, the new iOS operating system and an Apple TV (which sells for around $100) that connects to any TV, monitor or projector with an HDMI interface. You can project your iPad with a couple of simple steps ... and it works wirelessly! Here's how:

screentime parents

shared by Sean McHugh on 08 Dec 16 - No Cached
  • Everybody knows tweens and teens rack up lots of screen time. But what about parents?
  • the report reveals the tension between what we do and what we want our kids to do
  • when parents are aware of their kids' online activities, they're less likely to worry
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • On any given day, parents of American tweens and teens average more than nine hours with screen media each day. Eighty-two percent of that time (almost eight hours) is devoted to personal screen media activities such as watching TV, social networking, and video gaming, with the rest used for work
  • The sheer amount of media and tech in our lives makes it tough to monitor and manage our own use -- let alone our kids'.

    As for her advice for parents, Takeuchi suggests that they make screen time into family time by watching TV or playing video games with their kids. That would help inform parents about how much digital media their kids are consuming and make it a more enriching experience.

    There is probably no other word that would be as overused in the media discourse as 'generation'. I once tried to count the 'generations' that have been proclaimed in the past ten years, since the well-known article about the so-called 'Generation Nothing'; I believe there were as many as twelve. They all had one thing in common: they only existed on paper. Reality never provided us with a single tangible, meaningful, unforgettable impulse, the common experience of which would forever distinguish us from the previous generations. We had been looking for it, but instead the groundbreaking change came unnoticed, along with cable TV, mobile phones, and, most of all, Internet access. It is only today that we can fully comprehend how much has changed during the past fifteen years.
