| Candle_In_the_Wind Breshears is Off: Ask Me Why User ID: 65955727 United States11/03/2015 05:31 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My 3 year old twins just walked up to me one day reading words. Why? Devices. In their case, Leap Pads. They know all the sounds of letters, how to make them, and how to combine those sounds to make words. They use pretty advanced words in conversation. Like "Daddy whats this?" "It's a tube" "No, daddy, it's a cylinder!" Ok...

| Michele B User ID: 70434034 United States11/03/2015 05:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.thedailysheeple.com] Quoting: TheToolMan Recently, a study was conducted on over 300 kids between the age of 6 months and 4 years, living in a low-income neighborhood in Philadelphia. The study found that most parents now let their kids use mobile devices; often with the intent of keeping them preoccupied. With numbers like these, I’m sure that plenty of the technophobes in our midst are among them. Overall, 97 per cent of the children, or 338 kids, had used a mobile device. The researchers gave falling costs, marketing strategies and subsidies by cellular service providers as possible contributing factors. Other findings from the survey included: About 44 per cent of children under age one used a mobile device on a daily basis to play games, watch videos or use apps. The percentage increased to 77 per cent in two-year-olds and plateaued after that. One-quarter (28 per cent) of two-year-olds did not need any help navigating a mobile media device, and 61 per cent needed help sometimes. Of parents surveyed who allowed their child to use a mobile device, 70 percent reported letting their children play with mobile devices to do chores, to keep the child calm in public places (65 per cent) or run errands (58 percent), and 28 per cent used a mobile device to put their children to sleep. Goes right along with my other post... Thread: This would be FUNNY if it wasn't for being so SAD. Comments please... The portion I highlighted in red is the most interesting to me..... This is considered "LOW INCOME"?!?!?!?! NO WONDER these fucks consider it their DUE to get free shit. They probably wouldn't even have any "mobile devices" if they had to PAY for them! Let's take that a step further: 97%.... is there any "technology vacuum" then? Are these kids really disadvantaged compared to "wealthy" kids?!?!??!?! Apparently not. |

Look for bone cancer to start showing up around 2025. Yes, I did cure my Stage 4 cancer in two weeks when I was 48. I also reversed my chronic kidney disease (glomerulonephritis) when I was 25. In neither case were any medical treatments involved. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 70709549  Belgium11/03/2015 06:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Imagination needs to be developed first. Video games on an ipad does not foster imagination. It stifles it. That's right, but also, these kids will be wired differently for life. They will go through a completely different neurological development from us and will likely end up hyper agile in all matters digital but stunted in their development as human beings and inadequate in many areas. Fast forward thirty years and most of us will be gone and they will be in charge of this world. |

It is like carrying a Wi-Fi on your person all day and night. Good post 5*. Can you imagine having to compete with your child's electronic device for instruction and guidance? Some adults have problems getting off the device. What happens when those parents can't afford those Wi-Fi services? |
