This document discusses how digital technology and social media can negatively impact brain development and social skills in young people. It finds that face-to-face social interaction is important for social competence, while excessive TV watching and computer game use is linked to lower education levels and less parental attention. Studies also show that a lack of self-control from an early age can influence health outcomes decades later.
