Madonna is right about smartphones having disturbing, long-term effects on children’s brains

Strike a Tweet –

May 7, 2019 – “I made a mistake when I gave my older children phones when they were 13,” Madonna, 60, told the fashion magazine. “It ended my relationship with them, really. Not completely, but it became a very, very big part of their lives. They became too inundated with imagery and started to compare themselves to other people, and that’s really bad for self-growth.”

Chief among the effects: Smartphones may actually change children’s brains. The National Institutes of Health is in the midst of a $300 million study that’s following 11,000 children over 10 years. It already has some preliminary results: MRI scans from 4,500 participants show physical changes in the brains of those children that use smartphones for more than 7 hours per day.
