Many parents fear that children who spend hours glued to computer screens will end up as zombies Are parents right to be worried? For a person who is a digital native this is a very tricky question. On the one hand, I understand younger generations, how easy it is for them to adopt new technologies and get used to it just in a few hours, because I still remember the times how fascinating it was for me. But today's kids are already born into the digital world, so they percieve the environment with sheer quantity of surrounding gadgets and technologies as a fact, and resultedly, they can't imagine what life would be like without them. If today's people of 30 or 40 years old spent their childhood wandering in the streets, playing with others and experiencing the outer world, nowadays children have the same experience, but in the digital world. They have another reality, where there is no control, no parents, no other limitations that can shrink their freedom. On the other hand, this may have negative effect on children's health, such as loosing sight or skeleton problems or mental disorders, but this is parents' responsibility not to let this happen. In addition, a lot of studies and experiments were carried out to prove that information from the blue screens very rarely transfers from short term memory to long term memory, which affects brain development. If children are constantly using their computers to write essays, to read books or even use apps to translate or solve mathematical tasks, it will be much more difficult for them in future to analyze information, develop cognitive skills or even cope with stress. Brain is a musle which needs to be trained by by performing all kinds of tasks, which also include boring tasks or repeated actions, whereas computers doesn't fully contribute to it. As a result, most worries aren't groundless, but finding a golden middle and having a fixed schedule for computers and daily boring activities could be a good compromise for both sides.
