  • Did you at least read the abstract lmao

    Emerging scientific evidence indicates that frequent digital technology use has a significant impact—both negative and positive—on brain function and behavior. Potential harmful effects of extensive screen time and technology use include heightened attention-deficit symptoms, impaired emotional and social intelligence, technology addiction, social isolation, impaired brain development, and disrupted sleep. However, various apps, videogames, and other online tools may benefit brain health. Functional imaging scans show that internet-naive older adults who learn to search online show significant increases in brain neural activity during simulated internet searches. Certain computer programs and videogames may improve memory, multitasking skills, fluid intelligence, and other cognitive abilities. Some apps and digital tools offer mental health interventions providing self-management, monitoring, skills training, and other interventions that may improve mood and behavior. Additional research on the positive and negative brain health effects of technology is needed to elucidate mecha

  • But we know for a fact that prohibition is a weak tool that almost never works. So whats your point?

    Your argument premise is flawed as phone is beyond "just a distraction". Why not remove all other students and chairs and windows - they're all distractions!

    I'm not sure why I even bother commenting here on lemmy when people are so small minded and can't contribute to discussions without taking the most reductionist view. We're not deciding policy here but just discussion what should be an interesting and engaging topic.

  • But is focus the end goal? Im of belief that smartphones and computers in general in inseparable part of our contemporary existence and instead of prohibition some alternative methods would be much more effective like special software restrictions etc.

  • It still baffles me how people manage to justify China's position on Russia. Sure it's "geopolitics" but if you take a look at domestic propaganda in China itself it's certainly much more than that.

    Check out videos of what Ukrainians deal with while living in China - its down right disgusting how brainwashed Chinese are equating Zelenskyy to the likes of Hitler in Ukrainian's faces and thsse are just normal people in apolitical contexts like nurses in hospitals. It's absolute insanity.

  • You can really see how Hitler happened when there was no free information flow like the internet. Even now people are confused but imagine if all you had is literally just hearsay and the newspaper says nothing bad is happening and there are no goons kidnapping people.

  • Just some stupid doom bait.

    If it would get to cable cutting between US and Europe then we have much bigger problems than slow web apps. If Europe would ever get to that it definitely has enough cloud providers for essential services. Around 90% of all bandwidth is entertainment.

  • Fascinating - so he hammered the trust to grand all power to the eldest son but other kids ain't happy and the details are sealed so makes you wonder what spicy shit is in there. This is some evil empire drama.

    The push is coming from a coalition of other big media sources and this "Our Nevada Judges" (ONJ) non-profit which basically all they do is civic action against sealed material - what a cool organization!
