Welcome back and I'm glad you're here!
I'm Trey Warner.
First up, a news nosh from Scotland.
"Prince Harry has taken his fiancé
on their first official visit to Scotland today.
Harry seemed taken with Cruachan,
the mascot of the royal regiment of Scotland.
Meghan, much less so.
She preferred to hold on to her fiancé,
rather than risk her own fingers in the pony's mouth.
That pony's got some bite.
Prince Harry should really watch out, but tonight,
there's something you should watch out for,
and it's in your home.
It's Life Crunch on Famifi.
Trey…
Trey? We're on the air-
Oh…
Trey!
Oh, hey.
When we talk about addiction, the first things
that come to mind are drugs,
alcohol and chocolate.
But did you ever think addiction could come
out of something as simple as your phone?
Neither did I…until Candy Crush came out.
TREY!
The director of Stanford's Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder Clinic
says there's increasing evidence that Internet use
can be addictive for some.
By comparing brain scans of people facing
Internet problems to those with addiction,
they found that the same active pathways light up in both cases.
They even saw a shrinkage in the prefrontal cortex.
Now this doesn't mean that the Internet is bad…
Well, some of it is-
Okay most of it is, but it's an interesting theory.
Here's what Deepak Chopra had to say about digital addiction.
"Any addictive behavior will cause the same damage
in the brain
at the site of receptors that a drug will do."
The average American spends between 5 and 10 hours
a day taking in YouTube, social media,
and text messaging.
That's enough time to watch like, one Lord of the Rings Movie.
But what does a 10-hour screen day entail?
"That's watching T.V, watching videos, listening to music,
playing video games, reading,
scrolling around the Internet.
So it's all of that, but it's nine hours a day."
It's a fast-paced world online
that seems to absorb all of our free time.
So, with most of it spent looking at our devices,
what effect can this have at home?
Doctor Brown had this to say.
"Great Scott!"
No…Dr. Ari Brown.
"The other thing that we worry about with screens,
is that it reduces the talk time between parent and child
by 85% when the screen is on,
and so that's what's so concerning
because we know talk time is critical to language
and social development for kids."
And it's not just "Talk Time" that's in danger.
More that 90 percent of people between the ages of eighteen
and twenty-nine
say they sleep with their smart phones in or next to their beds.
It's having a negative effect on their sleep patterns,
which, I'm pretty sure is a basic biological necessity.
Like eating or listening to Beyoncé.
So clearly an over saturation of media
comes with developmental issues
but how are we battling this here in America?
Well, turns out we only started funding research
into the problem last year.
So while digital addiction may not be classified as official
yet in America,
countries like China, Japan,
and South Korea have given it a formal definition.
With over 2 million residents diagnosed and given help
at government treatment centers
or technology "fasting camps" for youths.
Where they surrender all devices and replace them with
meditation, therapy and physical activities.
Check out this Digital Detox Center in South Korea.
"In Korean, this center is known as the internet dream village.
The South Korean government gave it that name to avoid
scaring off teenagers with labels like rehab.
The take home message is if you control your time online,
you can become whatever you want to be."
Cool. So how do we start a digital detox
with our own families?
First, set a good example.
If you want them to have less screen time,
you should too.
Second, talk to them like they're adults.
Explain it's important to take time out from technology,
no matter how old you are.
Third, create boundaries.
Say no to phones in bed, during dinner, or in the bathroom.
Also, that's a good way to get pink eye.
Similar boundaries around time also work well.
For example, no phones after 10pm.
Fourth-
That's right, come together and find a better activity.
Go on a hike, play a game, any age-relevant day out
is a great way to get the family together
and spend some time away from the screens.
I'm not here to scare you.
The Internet has helped communication, medicine,
and business to a degree we couldn't even imagine
and it's not going away anytime soon.
But, with moderation and responsibility we can start
solving these problems at home.
Thanks for watching.
