From the American Mensa Review of Screenformation
“This book is deeply researched … a must-read for parents, grandparents, and teachers.”
— Mensa Bulletin, September 2019.
------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------The BOOK Screenformation presents the latest scientific studies, academic research, and expert commentary on the harmful effects of screentime. It is the definitive collection of the biological, psychological, physiological, sociological, and behavioral sciences on the subject.
Results show that screentime damages basic brain function, mental health, creativity, reasoning, concentration, attention span, problem solving, social skills, empathy, emotional development, motor skills, and physical health. Conversely, a screenfree lifestyle is a predictor of strength in these areas, plus resourcefulness, satisfaction, and success in later life.
Most people are under the mistaken impression that “there’s not a lot of research in this area.” That’s because the rich scientific knowledge available today is not widely communicated to the general public. The Screenformation.com website lists 80+ citations you can check out without buying the book. The fact is, there is a wealth of scientific studies and findings pointing to the same conclusion: Screentime undermines a broad range of mental and physical health in children and adults. Screenformation pulls together all of the information into one place for convenient access. It provides a comprehensive investigation into how mind and body respond to screentime.
Recent studies show that we all (conservatives and liberals alike) reject evidence that contradicts our assumptions and worldview, we “just don’t believe it.” Our worldview today embraces an immersion into screen devices as normal. Therefore, the science showing that screentime damages our mental and physical health is neither welcomed nor heeded.
The truth is that screentime has dominated our perception and brain function increasingly over the past 60 years. Adapted to less active and more passive mental and physical conditioning, generations of parents and grandparents have unwittingly distanced family members, undermined child development, and eroded skillsets and talents across the population.
The BOOK Screenformation will not change our society’s immersion and dependence on screens and screen devices. But it can, and has, inspired individuals to adjust their lifestyles based on the new information, to reduce screentime and increase real-world time in their lives.… (mehr)
