○About Digital Devices

     Education and digital devices are closely related, but from children to adults, there are both good and bad points about the use of mobile phones, computers, and televisions. Parents and children learn about this and discuss how to use them.

【Benefits of Using】
・Easy to collect information
・Instant communication
・Getting used to digital devices from an early age.

【Drawbacks of Using】
・When you use digital devices to kill time, such as watching videos or social media, your brain loses the necessary rest time, which leads to brain fatigue, hindering growth and decline of the brain. Personality and abilities are closely related to the growth of the brain, and lack of consideration, understanding, self-control, and planning can result.
・Prone to addiction to games and social media.
・Even if the device is not powered on, just having a smartphone in view can prevent you from fully concentrating on work or study. This affects the outcome and makes it more difficult to acquire skills.
・Looking at a small screen for a long time makes your eyes and body tired easily.
・Cyberbullying occurs by children and adults with low empathy.

    Considering these points, Prout Village recommends the following habits:

・Parents and children need to know that after the brain has taken in information, it needs time to become mindful and organize it. Without this, the brain can become fatigued, growth can stop, and brain function can decline.

・Apart from self-study and creative work, we recommend limiting the use of mobile phones, computers, and televisions for killing time to less than one hour per day. Especially for videos, social media, and games.

・During work or study, just having a smartphone nearby can prevent concentration, so keep it out of sight.

    Alcohol can be enjoyable if drunk in moderation. Good relationships with manners and moderation can continue if you maintain a moderate distance. Mobile phones and the internet are convenient and enjoyable if used in moderation. The problem arises when the level of dependence becomes excessive.
