Summary:
"We've all seen them:
kids
hypnotically staring at glowing screens in restaurants, in playgrounds and in friends' houses. Dr. Nicholas Kardaras examines
how
technology-- more specifically, age-inappropriate
screen
tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity-- has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain's pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates
screen
tech with disorders like ADHD,
addiction
, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis. Most shocking of all, recent brain imaging studies conclusively show that excessive
screen
exposure can neurologically damage a young person's developing brain in the same way that cocaine
addiction
can"--Provided by publisher.
