It's a mixed bag for me. I work in children's entertainment and educational apps. While I feel quality fun educational experiences on devices are positive, I also feel like they are contributing to kids getting addicted to these screens at a young age which concerns me deeply. I'm not really sure where to go from here to address these concerns.
- telebone_man 9y agoOut of curiosity, from someone in the education arena.. Would you think augmented-reality style apps would be a step in the right direction? I remember being told it would bring forward the 'outside world' to people otherwise glued to their phones. But then, I drove past a pokemon go party the other day and the only difference was they were all stood outside...
- j2bax 9y agoI think AR and VR have incredible educational potential, but I don't know that it will do anything to decrease screen addiction in children. It will likely only increase it.
