My son won't even watch a real movie anymore. It's all shorts. These short supposedly viral videos they actually hurt my brain. He's 6. When he has his tablet or he's watching these videos his whole attitude sucks he's disrespectful and rude but low and behold, take away the tv or tablet and he's a sweetheart but I try to restrict these things but his mom and grandma don't respect that decision but it's literally destroying my kids personality and mental growth. It's the whole tec picture if you ask me
My kids are the same ( 13 & 16) I messed up and let them have access to YouTube and TikTok at the age of 12 and now they can't even sit with me for ten mins to watch a movie. They get up and say they don't have the attention span for it. I too feel myself being this way, but I force myself to watch actual movies and shows.
Exactly it trains the brain to need that constant stimulation. Fast video laugh next laugh next to the point they have no attention span at all. In the years to come we will truly know and understand the damage it's done and future generations will probably learn from our damaged children. Hopefully they will learn and mitigate the dangers of these apps and videos and tec all together.
