Summary | Overexposure to screens can have a really bad impact on very young children's health. Some 3-year old toddlers don't even look at you when you're talking to them; they don't talk and are passive because they've been overexposed to screens. Some of the issues experts have noticed are similar to ASD symptoms: lack of language skills, relationship and behavior trouble.

Summary | Toddlers overexposed to screens seem to demonstrate symptoms similar to autism, a doctor says. Toddlers have already access to smartphones. Sofiane, for instance, got his first tablet at the age of 18 months. His kindergarten teacher noticed that he never wanted to sit next to his peers, and would often space out. Moreover, he always needed an adult next to him to guide him. Those "screen children"often exhibit developmental delays as well as relationship, language and behavioral disorders. Children shouldn't have access to screens before 3. Some parents think that giving their toddlers "learning tablets" will help them in the future.

The results show that depressed people's photos tend to be darker than the average Instagram photos, and they also tend to focus on blue and grey. Thanks to the study, researchers hope to be able to prevent depression in the future.
