    Funny how it's generalized to screen time without specific activities. I started using computers when I was 3,and if anything it just made me smarter. I used paint and other non-internet things. BUT, the light flickering and blue light stuff probably did have a negative impact.

    At 6 they sat in a circle and took turns at quizzing the AI on the Google smartphone.

    At 12 they say, "We don't trust AI."

    I would assume reading is good for your brain, and giving children a lot of information would be good for their brains.
