Huxley got the mechanism wrong, but we are currently conditioning the children to be more interested in digital screens than in outdoor/natural activities. This isn't new - TV as a babysitter has moved to mobile device as a babysitter.
It seems to be working quite well.
- cimmanom 8y agoMy understanding is that this doesn't require conditioning -- the brightness of screens, their changing contents, and the dopamine hits one gets from interacting with them makes them grab and hold attention regardless of previous exposure.
