Synopsis "Glow Kids "

From addiction expert Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, a startling argument that technology has profoundly affected the brains of children--and not for the better. We've all seen them: kids hypnotically staring at glowing screens in restaurants, in playgrounds and in friends' houses--and the numbers are growing. Like a virtual scourge, the illuminated glowing faces--the Glow Kids--are multiplying. But at what cost? Is this just a harmless indulgence or fad like some sort of digital hula-hoop? Some say that glowing screens might even be good for kids--a form of interactive educational tool. Don't believe it. In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine 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. Kardaras will dive into the sociological, psychological, cultural, and economic factors involved in the global tech epidemic with one major goal: to explore the effect all of our wonderful shiny new technology is having on kids. Glow Kids also includes an opt-out letter and a quiz for parents in the back of the book.

El libro hace un resumen de los estudios de las últimas décadas acerca del efecto de las pantallas en los niños y adolescentes. Te cuenta varios ejemplos de casos clínicos, explicando cómo llegaban los niños a las consultas y que se hizo para tratarlos. Te da recomendaciones. También analiza cuando las empresas tratan de vender al estado paquetes masivos de tecnología, y de cómo han actuado distintos gobernadores en distintos estados de EEUU. Es el único que tengo de esta materia, así que no lo puedo comparar con otros, sin embargo te recomiendo leerlo.

El libro es excelente, solamente no estoy muy conforme con la entrega ya que al embalarlo doblaron la contratapa del libro y venía dañado.
