Description
‘Screen time’ – meaningless concept or destroying a generation? Scientists, policy makers and children’s advocates are currently arguing about whether, on the one hand, screen time is good ...for children and society, building skills for the twenty-first century, or whether – on the other hand – it is bad, creating self-involved young people who don’t spend enough time with other people. What are the risks of digital lives? What are the potential benefits? What advice should parents, teachers, and carers take notice of?
