Link: It took a phone ban for some teachers to realize kids don’t know how to read a clock.

Teens raised in a digital world lack practice in reading analog clocks, according to Kris Perry, executive director of Children and Screens.

Perry debates whether this shift is a cognitive downgrade or merely a skill replacement.

She references brain scans that reveal more brain activity when engaging with physical books and handwriting compared to digital screens.

These findings highlight a significant difference in how analog and digital mediums affect brain functions.

Perry's insights raise important questions about the implications of digital media on cognitive development.

This shift in skills, from analog to digital, presents a modern challenge in understanding the impact on the young mind. #
