I am a substitute teacher. It is not just at home anymore. Now, kids are placed on a chromebook all day at school too...Makes me so angry when I see this.

Better than going outside or at street with loud bikes, alcohol, drugs, or annoying deliquents harassing people and women, staying at home is at least tone them down. They just adjust the content into education ones

Who’s stopping you from going outside ?

@@higherintellect I think there just saying that not all kids are outside, they can go outside but everyone else is inside on a screen

@@higherintellect fr

@@higherintellect I go out, but there's be no kids out where I live.

My daughter is also 15. I can’t count how many times I’ve told her that. It was so true! My youngest kids are 5 year old twins. Im glad they have each other to play with because the outside parks are empty most days.

There's restrictions that can't be bypassed. As long as they don't have a data plan on their phone (if there at home all the time, they don't need it) you unplug the router and physically lock it up. No streaming or internet works without it. Kids need to spend time with their parents but they also need to learn to entertain themselves. Parents shouldn't helicopter.

Coronavirus kids using screens for school DUHHHHHH

Clucth 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

as a 22 year old who had unrestricted access to the internet my entire life, i don't get why you say that, because the internet is were you have (if your not truly restricted) infinite access to ALL of human information, ontop of since your 15 your brain still has neural placidity meaning your brain is acting like a sponge for info, having unrestricted access should be making you smarter, giving you major advantages. you must be using it wrong, because i wish i used the internet more as a kid, because the bit i did use it put me on a fast track to graduating high school two years early. it is prob tougher for you though the funny thing is were the same GEN (gen z) but im a first wave gen Z meaning im the exact same age as google, you being 15 you were born just in time for the end of the information age, the info is still out there and the internet can still be a great tool for self improvement its just now days when you ask the internet a question the answer isn't always so straight forwarded. but learning is fun and Knowledge literally is power! like when Columbus stole from natives by telling them " my god is stronger than your god, and my god will take the sun from the sky if you do not hand over your items" then later the sun was removed from the sky. of course it was only a solar eclipse Columbus used his knowledge of astronomy to rob natives of there resources as he knew there was to be a solar eclipse but they didn't understand what it was. the more you know the less likely it is someone will try to use there knowledge to gain power over you, the more you know the more likely it is you will have power over others.

@@TheInfiniteVoid I don’t mean that I think the Internet is bad. I still use it alot. I just had a lot of sleep problems because I used to stay up until 4am every night.

My brother is the one who restrictions it

go outside and play

Parents think all kids dont go outside and dont play with other kids, but every kid in my school goes outside and play with other kids outside

Truu

Even that is a problem not being able to find something else to do off technology and there's so much that can be done.

Sheesh, like 20 minutes a day as a reward for doing chores, schoolwork, and some physical play/exercise wouldn't kill those poor kids. Buy them their dream toy and then lock it up. I'm not talking all night every night, but a little reward time with their toy after other stuff. Those kids are going to play with their video games for hours all night long as soon as they can get away from that helicopter parent. No doubt a helicopter parent.

Your daughter isn’t a good parent sadly, helicopter parent trying to keep her kids from the real world. If they are only allowed to use it on the weekends. You better fucking bet they are gonna use it on the weekends. Consider the parent invisible on the weekends ever weekend.

@@doge9347 as if she wouldn't notice her kids being shut-off?? She'll just have to control that as well. Everyday is a new challenge w kids.. What's up with this new age of parenting? Kids are suddenly given all this power. Not in this house lol

@@gamergarcia7248 my parents didn’t realize.

@@doge9347 you must be really young. Please use your time wisely

I was thinking bout that as well...

Put it on night shift so your eyes aren’t strained.

@@davidbustamante7278 this. night light mode really does help. unfortunately some programs force the computer to use regular light mode which burns my eyes lmao

@@Louisiana_Levitator06 You can improve you eyesight (a little) by looking far away more often. Look out of the window or to the farest point within your home several times a day. Maybe put something you like in that area, so you like to look at it.

Work out.

yeah

Write a book

Think about someone you saw in real life and stroke it...try to hit the ceiling.

@@eddenoy321 you can think about my 96 year-old aunt

Same and I’m 26😂 being a human is messy

I'm 46 and I disagree. You lack self control. Don't blame it on screen limits. My kids don't even want to look at the screen no more, all they want to do is go outside and play nowadays.

@@bshinjpthrow away screens unless it’s for homework or contact with family

hur dur dur.

It’s down to individuals (parents), not society as a whole

And suicide rates are reaching record heights. For kids and adults too.

Agree! We can use classical parental control e.g. Time Boss, Net Nanny or others to limit websites by time (or to prevent porn and sex)...

tell their parents this: put lazy protection programs on your kids' computers while putting in zero effort into spending time with them. Then sleep at night not knowing they're smart enough to bypass any restrictions you put on them.

Hahaah drag em publicly!

😭

Key word: young That only works for like

If they're ignored and not taught that manners extend to the internet, yes. Don't parents teach manners anymore?

Tik tok

@@MilwaukeeWoman You ignored what he said. They can act like a whole different person, there's no need for manners when there's no consequences and their identify is unknown. They see personalities, words, mannerism online. They begin to copy all these things because its new to them and outweighs what they have been taught. Its not cause of being "ignored." But, this does not apply to all kids. Some just value their taught manners enough to stick to them.

Dosen't apply to cod at least I can act like a normal person

So…what about the children who don’t post things online, just watch!

45% of the kids in my grade are failing cuz they too lazy to do the work

@@itz_icy_gaming2930 I’m not one for lazy all the time but it definitely happens with people.

@@itz_icy_gaming2930 I would fail my class because i have only done 4 excersises and i never work when online school is involved, BUT exams are chancelled in my country ;)

@@itz_icy_gaming2930 Not everyone's brains are structured to learn online, you calling them lazy means you're assuming it's their fault.

so in other words: put lazy protection programs on your kids' computers while putting in zero effort into spending time with them. Then sleep at night not knowing they're smart enough to bypass any restrictions you put on them.

No, lmao. All they said was ”videogames might be addicting”, just like Facebook is for you, Kathryn.

What's with the huge ego of yours when you sit around, dwelling on Facebook for years on end, Kathryn? I bet you sit around on your "new iPhone X" playing Candy Crush... oh no, that's MY mother.

The other idea is to use a special parental control apps. So you are free to chose, depending on the age of a child or on the seriousness of control, eg K9 or Time Boss ... Additionally you get forced breaks, limitation websites by time and others...

As a student I believe that’s kind of rude to say about your students, don’t you ever think about how they will feel if you ever told them that before? I get it, there’s a lot of kids that been staring at a screen to much but that’s mean I would of not except that if my teacher told me that. I would of told the principal about your behavior. Never judge a book by its cover. And also let their parents take care of it. It’s not your responsibility.

@@yuri9771 I can see how that comes off. I meant it was sad because they weren’t properly taught how to eat and be active. I’m 5’5” and 242 lbs so I’m obese but that’s my own fault. These kids don’t have the education to know when to stop eating and to go out to exercise. Again, I do understand because I’ve always been big.

@@Tallie602 ok but they might have a reason why their like that like all I could say is that don’t ever say rude stuff about your students you never know if one of your students could be reading this right now and think about how they feel afterwards like don’t you ever say that again.

And can I ask you a question? What grade do you teach?

@@yuri9771 I know what you’re trying to say but again. I’m only pointing out what I saw. I’m trying to say that this pandemic really took a toll on them and the parents didn’t help. We were teaching online for a whole year and they sat in front of an iPad and ate all day. Secondly, I didn’t mention a school, my full name is not on display, and I didn’t mention any grade level or specific details about any students, so no, they wouldn’t even know I’m talking about them.

They could send you worksheets and give you homework to solve with your books. They also could send you a voicemail or podcast with your tasks. But there is a responsible way to use screen time.

@@valek7700 True I mean I take frequent breaks from my computer and frankly after a while there is only so much time I can take before I need a breathe of air.

@@valek7700 they COULD but they don't. Online is strictly online in most places.

@@valek7700 what’s easier? Press a button on a website, or print out a bunch of books, put them together, get all the student’s adresses and send them?

Good content creators know how to trigger that part of the brain to get you to keep watching. If our brain aren't wired to keep watching then why would we keep watching.

We have dopaminergic pathways that are literally designed to reward us for experiences of novelty and surprise. Media formats are getting shortened to increase the frequency of these rewards and thus condition you to keep swiping up for that new hit of dopamine, factually making you addicted. The big platforms benefit from from you being addicted as this equals more screentime per user equals more ad revenue.

Most of the time living away from other people sucks. Just during a pandemic it's bad. My husband grew up in the country and he had no other kids to play with so he sat inside and got chubby. I could run around the neighborhood with the other kids and was not overweight until we moved into an apartment with no access to outside places to play or other kids.

@@MilwaukeeWoman obviously he’s not a hard worker and belongs in the city

@@AmyTobashi sorry bro.😔

I'm a gen Z, but I do partially agree with the boomers. Technology has really changed the way society works for the generations to come, and I've noticed that it's taken a lot of effect on me as well. I should never have been introduced to instantly gratifying devices that young, because who knew I could turn out to be a very inexperienced young adult just because I've spent all my childhood on electronic devices rather than learning something new from the outside world. This isn't our fault because we grew up with it, but we have to do something because it is really impacting many lives in many aspects, especially the newer generations such as us. I'm still affected by it, though, I'm trying to figure out how to get out of this mess somehow.

How true man.Its very beneficial for people.

it’s mostly the parents fault, if the parents had more parenting skills maybe they wouldn’t have gave kids a iPad at 4, I wish this newest generation did the same thing you just listed.

I got my first phone at 16

My eye doctor said that blue light glasses have not been proven to really do anything

Operating systems like windows 10 ,and i believe every mobile os's too, has a function to where it applies a orange filter to reduce blue light emission so those glasses aren't needed

1. Blue glasses are totally useless. 2. We're in the middle of a world wide deadly pandemic.

Just put you phone on night shift.

@@highkit Pandemic. Plandemic. Whatever. Aniexty along with other health issues are going to go up, especially with children. Nature is only place you can go and not worry about catching a disease and relax your mind

I remember having an outburst and hating the world because my parents made me give up my TV and video game time in favour of books, playing outdoors, and homework.

@@M_D93 ”Playing outside” doesn’t really work anymore, unless you’re really sporty. The only outdoor activities are playing football, and.. yeah that’s about it. Cause let’s be serious, 13 year olds don’t play in the sandbox anymore. Also, ngl, most books are pretty boring. I’ve read many, like 2 we’re good.

It's better than you being in person spreading COVID. This is temporary.

The first kids of the Common Core experiment are entering the workforce now; expect much more of this and worse

@@cee-emm the writers for a news station aren’t like 18 lmao

@@somerandomdude4588 Where did I say that lol? Common core standards were implemented in 2009. That would mean starting in 2012 high school graduates from schools that implemented the standards will have had nothing but common core curricula in high school. That means that commom core kids have been entering the post collegiate workforce since 2016-2017. The only thing I can think of that gave you the idea that I was talking about 18 year old professional writers is that you also had common core curricula in school. Lol

Adults KNOW. It's just that many times their feelings are in the way, they want to please. But you are right, we must have tough love for our kids to be able to experience life to the fullest.

Yeah, entertainment. It’s the exact same thing with TVs and adults..

This is not gratification, this is escapism. You are avoiding real life and its bountiful struggles over the easy existence of staring at a screen and consuming useless knowledge.

@@equinoxo8813 speak for yourself, but not every gamer plays Fortnite. People develop escapism through other mediums, not just video games. Granted, I've been through that phase before when I was going through some tough times. Video games helped me to destress. But I actually learned a lot, in fact, a lot of my career pursuits are based on gamitication theory. I prefer playing strategy based games, choice driven games, games with a good storyline. If used wisely, video games are in fact a great tool for learning and development. Plenty of research studies that confirm this.

@@Kevin-lw2gl Even if video games are good for development, they do not compare to the development to be had from going outside and living in the world. This is a coping mechanism. Of course video games are going to “help you destress”. Thats what addictions do. Most the people in the comments supporting their continued usage sound EXACTLY like drug addicts when they are in denial and excusing their usage.

UKposts isn't meant for kids to begin with mate, They have UKposts Kids for them.

@@A-I_Hits true, but some kids still use this version

Nobody makes good videos for youtube kids. It's a dead platform. Someone has to teach the kids to not be mean anywhere, irl or online. That's basic parenting.

@@MilwaukeeWoman Most parents suck at it.

Then get off UKposts lmao

I agree with you. Unfortunately, the economy doesn't allow parents to truly be home with the children. It's all messed up. However, it doesn't mean parents can't hire a nanny or get their kids involved in extracurriculars outside of electronics and television viewing.

There's a couple people I know who prefer books over the company of humans. No scare stories about them on the news. Anything can become a replacement for human interaction and an addiction.

​@@MilwaukeeWoman, That's better than electronics at least.

I’d say 14 is a appropriate age

This isn't even fear mongering. Most kids can go outside now. This amount of screen time has a lot of obvious negative affects. Physically and mentally.

It is straight up silly to compare comic books and sports to the internet social media culture kids get sucked into. Spending endless time looking at a screen changes the way your mind thinks and your attention span.

@@AhseemCarter like..?

@@somerandomdude4588 Here’s some stuff I found- Physical strain to your eyes and body. Sleep deprivation. Increased risk of obesity. Susceptibility to chronic health conditions. Loss of cognitive ability. Impaired socialising skills. Weakened emotional judgment. Delayed learning in young children.

@@AhseemCarter Physical strain on eyes and body: Depends on how you sit, how bright the screen is, if night mode is on, etc. Sleep deprivation: Yeah, when you don’t sleep, you get sleep deprivated. Normally, kids actually sleep Increased risk of obesity: a screen doesn’t create fat. Your body gets the fat from food. If you want to get rid of that fat, use enough energy for your body to use it. Cause that’s what fat is, spare energy Chronic health conditions: connected to the obesity thing, I’m presuming? Cause once again, light won’t give you herpes Loss of cognitive ability: Doubt someone will become clinically brain dead because of a screen Impaired socialising skills: Depends on how long you play/do, and what you play/do. Weakened emotional judgement: I don’t really get this one.. only thing about it I could find was: ”the act of gauging the validity of a truth based on one's emotional reaction to it”, which.. yeah that can mean two things; 1. You gauge the validith of something based on logic or 2. You can’t gauge anything at all Delayed learning in young children: source?

Exactly.

Not really a problem, just making the work more effective

Kids aren’t watching the news for education information

So that's why I pretended to be a race car (I was mimicking the Cars trilogy) when running around for exercise when I was a little kid.
