“Let us add this brisk and persuasive work by Michel Desmurget to the necessary list of books warning against the impact of screens on the young. He gives the digiphiles exactly the credit they deserve for having peddled to our kids the tools that clog their heads and seize their eyes. His portrait of the toddler at the screen is frightening, of the teen “submerged” in media dismaying, and he busts one happy myth after another. This is a sober caution to parents, teachers and other supervisors of the young.”Mark Bauerlein, author of The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future“Desmurget advances vitally important points.”City Journal
