[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must be getting stupid since I read and write everything on a screen. I'm a lawyer.[/quote] If you're a lawyer now, you're still too old to have been affected by tablet screen time the way we're worried about our kids being affected. I have yet to read a study that says the negative effects on executive functioning apply to adults, although I haven't read a study that said it didn't either. I just know most of the studies I've read have been on children.[/quote] The studies and kids can't be too old since the iPad came out when my kid was 2.5 yrs old and he's 7.5 now.[/quote] My kid learned to read on a tablet. Don't think that's all that unusual. I prefer that DC practice his Chinese characters by writing them and math is easier done on paper but if there were better "writing" programs on a tablet, I would not have a preference.[/quote]
