"trains the brain, especially the forming brain, in improper ways"; surely its training the brain in the way that electronic devices work. Its a little reminiscent of the fears from my childhood that pocket calculators would render children innumerate, and the 18th C. moral panic about reading economist.com/1843/2020/01/20/… | |

| Oct 10, 2019 at 18:20 | comment | added | tbrookside | I am not entirely sure how it would be possible to draw a distinction between the "unnatural surface" of an iPad and the "unnatural surface" of a book. Or between the "repetitive motion" of swiping an iPad and the "repetitive motion" of turning the pages of a book. | |

| Oct 8, 2019 at 16:00 | comment | added | user3067860 | I thought the "sitting too close makes you nearsighted" thing had been disproven? webmd.com/eye-health/qa/… Basically the conclusion was that people who are already nearsighted sit closer because that's the only way they can see...not the other way around. | |

| Oct 8, 2019 at 10:59 | comment | added | Nikos Hidalgo | this is a forum with international access, but linking to resources even when they're in German wouldn't be a bad idea. If somebody's interest enough they will go to the trouble of translating them. As long as your answer is written in English, it's fine. | |
