Hugh Grant Sounds Alarm: How Tech Addiction is Harming Kids
Actor Hugh Grant is speaking out about the dangers of excessive screen time for children, likening the tech industry's influence in schools to a 'drug cartel'. In a recent webinar hosted by Close Screens, Open Minds, a parent group advocating for responsible digital technology use in education, Grant expressed his frustration with the issue. As a concerned parent, he's not alone in worrying about the impact of technology on kids' mental and physical health. With the rise of digital learning and online activities, it's essential for parents and educators to be aware of the potential risks of tech addiction, including decreased attention span, increased stress, and decreased physical activity. By being mindful of screen time and promoting a balanced approach to technology use, we can help children develop healthy habits and mitigate the negative effects of excessive screen time. Popular concerns include digital wellbeing, screen time management, and online safety. By working together, we can create a healthier and more balanced approach to technology use in schools and at home.
