Screen time | 60 Minutes Archive

This was 5 years ago. What's the NIH update? It's 2023.

The effects from lack interaction with other's and the desensition to violence is absolutely scary.

As a teenager, I had the internet on my desktop home PC, I miss those times, having internet access but not with me always. Now, it’s very hard to put this phone down.

I think one of the biggest concerns is failure to understand social cues after spending your entire adolescence only interacting online. You might not be able to study it with an MRI, but it's observable by how our social interactions are all getting worse

I didn’t get my first cell phone until freshman year of high school. Social media websites like, Facebook and MySpace, never interested me. Still don’t.

Watching this in my phone feels kind of ironic😂

Keep them in school monday through Friday and limit to 30 min weekends tv only no iPads. It’s working great.

There has been a somewhat notable change for those of us that are (relatively young) college professors in recent years with the incoming classes. This anecdotally began around 2017-2020, and behavioral changes as well as alterations in social skills have followed. Attention span, problem solving, questioning of sources, even general literacy (like ability to spell without spell-check or use punctuation, since phones do that for them) and mathematical abilities are apparently suffering even in the highest achievers. Engineering students are entering calculus-based physics classes in R1 Universities that have a minimal understanding of algebra. It's weird to look at someone that seems roughly the same age as you, but because they've grown up with screens in their hands since infancy they think so differently.

Very Interesting Our goal is to raise our kids happy and healthy Overuse of the iPhone is not good

As someone born in 1997, i can remember a time without iPhones. When i was young the razor cell phone was probably the coolest thing there was right next to maybe the Blackberry with all its buttons.

Me watching this interview from my cell phone. As someone who works in educational their definitely a change.

certain technology was available when I was a kid so we had access to the internet too and I don't think the smartphones were available when I was a kid but like we still had cell phones too

Great morning to you from Kenneth D in Hamilton New Zealand.

I didn’t believe it would be a problem but it is my 16 year old is so emotional stuck it is a shame. If I could go back no screen time.

Wait, so were drawing conclusions based on a pilot study of 15 toddlers where going from 60% to 45% is just TWO toddlers? Ok then …

And yet...we are there still and perfecting. Hum...frequent MRIs, we were told that was bad as well, 🤔 ,,

*do we really need more Elon Musk?

1:10 more than 7 hours a day

New regulations are needed. Immediate access to technology is quite detrimental.

I worry for the kids of today . Because no one before generation alpha has seeing this level of addiction.
