All forms of recreational digital consumption - whether on smartphones tablets game consoles or TVs - have skyrocketed in the younger generations. From the age of 2 children in the West clock up more than 2.5 hours of screen time a day by the time they reach 13 it's more than 7 hours a day. Added up over the first 18 years of life this is the equivalent of almost 30 school years or 15 years of full-time employment. Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable they say they are 'digital natives' their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists - including some paediatricians psychiatrists teachers and speech therapists - dispute these claims and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens. Michel Desmurget a leading neuroscientist has carefully weighed up the scientific evidence concerning the impact of the digital activities of our children and adolescents and his assessment does not make for happy reading: he shows that these activities have significant detrimental consequences in terms of the health behaviour and intellectual abilities of young people and strongly affect their academic outcomes. A wake-up call for anyone concerned about the long-term impacts of our children's over-exposure to screens.
