[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of this sounds fine. It's really better to think about the actual activity they are doing/thing they are accessing (audio books, news, cooking show) rather than dismissing it all because it's "screens". [b]Why would the same activity be better because it's coming from a "real book" rather than an audiobook?[/b] It's just a different method of access. As you said it's not the same as awful Tiktok, or YouTube.[/quote] I like audiobooks, and my kids use them regularly. However neurological data shows that the most areas of the brain are challenged by reading print. Audiobooks are less challenging to the brain. Watching something on the screen is when the brain is most passive. Whether or not challenging the brain is good is probably highly situationally dependent. Still audiobooks are different than physical books. Books on a screen are different too (not sure about Kindle, but more talking about those digital books by apps like Hoopla).[/quote]
