The long use of electronic devices in recent years not only by adults but also children, is a big problem that needs attention.
ΑThis problem has been identified as serious, and experts are constantly intervening with advice to parents on how to deal with this problem. But the evolution of technology in conjunction with the pandemic has revealed a new phenomenon. The so-called "accumulation of screensThat is, the simultaneous use of multiple screens of electronic devices.
The findings of a study by his scientists University of Leicester Diabetes Research Center in Britain are particularly worrying. The researchers found that the phenomenon is very pronounced in ages 11-14 years old. It 60% of the children monitored by the researchers after coming home from school saw at least two screens at the same time (eg TV and mobile phone) while this percentage increased on weekends.
In fact, in many cases the children saw three screens at the same time (TV, computer / tablet, mobile phone, eBook etc.). Some children reported that they sometimes watched even four screens at the same time. The 36% of children was watching at least two screens while in bed.
The researchers did not just record the percentages but went ahead with their study and found that the simultaneous use of monitors is associated with less sleep, fewer hours of exercise and a higher body mass index. High body mass index is associated with serious health problems.
The new study makes even more urgent the need for control over the use of electronic devices by children and the imposition of strict rules on when and how they will use them.
