The media won’t tell you how #screens are silently impacting our kids and leading to overdependence on virtual friends and increased loneliness. Why?
Because it’s not profitable for the companies that thrive on #screentime, #socialmedia platforms, #gaming companies, #streamingservices, and advertisers. These industries generate billions of dollars by keeping kids glued to their screens. For example:
#Socialmedia platforms like TikTok and Instagram use algorithms designed to keep users scrolling endlessly, maximizing ad exposure, while fostering relationships with virtual friends rather than real-life connections, leading to overdependence on virtual friends.
#Gamingcompanies rely on addictive gameplay mechanics, in-app purchases, and multiplayer systems to keep kids playing for hours. While they may connect with virtual teammates, these interactions often replace real-world friendships, creating overdependence on virtual friends and increased loneliness.
#Streamingservices like YouTube and Netflix benefit from autoplay features that encourage binge-watching, even for children. This excessive screen time reduces opportunities for face-to-face interactions and increases reliance on digital content for entertainment, leading to overdependence on virtual friends.
#Advertisers target kids with tailored ads, knowing they influence family purchasing decisions.
Talking about the negative effects of #screens—like how they impact #mentalhealth, #childdevelopment, #familyrelationships, and contribute to overdependence on virtual friends—would mean these industries lose money.
But our #kidswellbeing is worth more than their profits. By setting boundaries and offering healthier #alternatives, we can protect them from these hidden harms.
