China protects its children from TikTok, restricts social media time to 40 minutes a day while Western children face rampant addiction, warns French neurologist
Desmurget said the evidence shows that children in the West are suffering dramatic intellectual impairment due to excessive social media use and screen time, but also, in part, because of often damaging social norms.
“The impact on language skills is staggering. And there are also direct consequences, for example, on the ability to concentrate, since these networks represent a permanent sensory load.
At the same time, they are gigantic platforms that create social norms and put terrible pressure on young people.
The platforms play with such mechanisms and use them to control us. In addition, the networks make us allow ourselves to be distracted; they are the purest machines for structuring distractions in our brain.
And then you boast that today’s youth react faster and more strongly to events around them, without realizing that this means the end of real attention.”
