Neurodependența de gadgeturi

Abstract

The technical-scientific progress has contributed to the intense development of computer technologies, radically changed the mechanisms of communication networks and mass-media. Gadgets have become an inseparable element of human existence and activity. With the development of digital technologies, a wide variety of computer games have also appeared, which have a colorful and dynamic visual expression. And at the same time as the global network developed, people appeared who were attracted by the extraordinary variety of games and fell into their trap by spending too much time in the virtual world. This has led to the emergence of a serious problem: dependent (addictive) behaviors. Excessive, uncontrolled use of gadgets seriously affects the physical and mental health of children. Due to the unlimited time that children spend in front of the gadget, they end up having neuro sensory deficiencies, delays in language development, and their logical, analytical and critical thinking is affected. To a large extent, they also suffer deviant behavioral consequences, such as running away from home, from classes and even dropping out of school.
