Did you at least read the abstract lmao

Emerging scientific evidence indicates that frequent digital technology use has a significant impact—both negative and positive—on brain function and behavior. Potential harmful effects of extensive screen time and technology use include heightened attention-deficit symptoms, impaired emotional and social intelligence, technology addiction, social isolation, impaired brain development, and disrupted sleep. However, various apps, videogames, and other online tools may benefit brain health. Functional imaging scans show that internet-naive older adults who learn to search online show significant increases in brain neural activity during simulated internet searches. Certain computer programs and videogames may improve memory, multitasking skills, fluid intelligence, and other cognitive abilities. Some apps and digital tools offer mental health interventions providing self-management, monitoring, skills training, and other interventions that may improve mood and behavior. Additional research on the positive and negative brain health effects of technology is needed to elucidate mecha

Not convinced by this argument and surely there would still better way to address this.

What a poor defeatist attitude.

And a computer makes that harder or easier? I'm not convinced.

Source because thats reeks of Bible belt house mom science lmao

Its just a computer. If you don't have temperance to handle it then that can be taught to 90% of people.

But we know for a fact that prohibition is a weak tool that almost never works. So whats your point?

Your argument premise is flawed as phone is beyond "just a distraction". Why not remove all other students and chairs and windows - they're all distractions!

I'm not sure why I even bother commenting here on lemmy when people are so small minded and can't contribute to discussions without taking the most reductionist view. We're not deciding policy here but just discussion what should be an interesting and engaging topic.

The article clearly says this is ban is beyond just classes.

There's much more to schools than just focus in classes.

But is focus the end goal? Im of belief that smartphones and computers in general in inseparable part of our contemporary existence and instead of prohibition some alternative methods would be much more effective like special software restrictions etc.

Im a philosophical Idealist so 100% the viewer. That viewer can be the artist themselves but the point stands - only observer can view art.

The process of creating art can be an art in itself and so does the meta societal situation of art culture but all of that still only matter in the pov of the viewer. So, the creation, creator or any context itself is not important for definiting art unless that's the meta subject.

Thats why AI generated art is fundamentally art because if the viewer doesn't know the context the effect of art upon their conciousness is exactly the same.

It's so blatant as if theyre using an instruction manual or something 🤔

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. As long as European institutions remain strong it can correct for bad temporaryleadership, as soon as you weaken these institutions the correction becomes harder and more expensive.

It makes difference for them self correcting their world model. Turn the other cheek and all etc.

It's called outside!

Joking aside, its fundamentally unlikely as if you're not paying you're the product and maintaining a dating network is a lot of work both in admin tasks, technical tasks and legal tasks.

It still baffles me how people manage to justify China's position on Russia. Sure it's "geopolitics" but if you take a look at domestic propaganda in China itself it's certainly much more than that.

Check out videos of what Ukrainians deal with while living in China - its down right disgusting how brainwashed Chinese are equating Zelenskyy to the likes of Hitler in Ukrainian's faces and thsse are just normal people in apolitical contexts like nurses in hospitals. It's absolute insanity.

Hopefully this means theres more space for European Union to take leadership!

It'll absolutely influence the rest of the world though :(

One more day 🤞

I always find these predictions just so silly and it's always someone in position that would benefit that see them not a kid in Bangladesh which statistically would be more likely.

Youtube is just lazy. These bots are laughably easy to detect and block.

"death to hamas" is often considered to be Islamophobic here which just shows how irrational and stupid everything about this conflict is.
