This is serious
Bill Whittle is a national treasure. His videos are a call to arms on various aspects of our civilization.
Today's video brings to light the addiction that children have with video games and tablets (iPad, etc...) and the measurable neurological damage that overexpsoure to these devices causes.
This is the post he cites
at the UK Telegraph:
Infants 'unable to use toy building blocks' due to iPad addiction
Rising numbers of infants lack the motor skills needed to play with building blocks because of an �addiction� to tablet computers and smartphones, according to teachers.
Many children aged just three or four can �swipe a screen� but have little or no dexterity in their fingers after spending hours glued to iPads, it was claimed.
Members of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers also warned how some older children were unable to complete traditional pen and paper exams because their memory had been eroded by overexposure to screen-based technology.
Lulu's son is adicted to video games and demonstrates a lot of the symptoms. I am trying to wean him off but it is an uphill battle.
