Summary | More and more children are addicted to screens, which is worrisome. More and more young people have screen addiction problems and need to see a health specialist to help them. The consequences can be serious: obesity, language delay, sleep disorder, and diabetes. Parents shouldn't prohibit anything, but they should teach their children how to manage their screen time.

Summary | Parents keep complaining about the fact that their children are stuck to their digital devices. More and more households in Switzerland own several digital devices ("screens"), which has consequences on family relations. Indeed, screens hinder natural communication and create problems. Parents seem lost and don't know what to do. Some parents have specific rules: no phone during dinner, or no phone before going to school in the morning, or no more than 30 minutes a day. A psychiatrist claims that the main rule should be to always privilege people physically present around us, especially children.

La révolution numérique et nous

Summary | Our vision and perception of the world is not only influenced by our body and conscience; it is also strongly affected by our surroundings and the world we live in. Nowadays people perceive the world through screens, they buy, play, communicate, and have access to masses of information. What comes out of the digital world is virtual as opposed to real. It is a “possible real” that didn’t find its true form concretely. Today’s man is constantly interacting; he sees the world differently than our grandparents. Should schools follow this path or get way from it?
