Technology in classrooms is creating significant challenges for child development, with recent research showing 28% of five-year-olds don't know how to use physical books properly. Excessive screen time in early childhood is reducing white matter in the frontal lobe, leading to the first generation in history showing lower cognitive capability than their parents. Countries like Sweden and Finland are now reversing their classroom technology initiatives and returning to traditional analogue learning methods, particularly in primary schools, while experts recommend limiting digital tools to high school years and encouraging parents to read to their children to counteract screen-time damage.
