Parents and teachers around the world struggle with their kids’ dependence on devices. #KIDSONTECH looks at the impact this is having on children’s developing bodies and brains. Voices from around the world, including parents and teens, a Google designer, a German brain scientist, and New York Times journalist, Matt Richtel ask: "Who is responsible?" and, "How can we help our children cope with the challenges posed by tech today?"

00:31:25.508 --> 00:31:26.634 Children don’t need to know
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:27.886 how a device works.
00:31:28.511 --> 00:31:29.804 They simply use it.
00:31:30.096 --> 00:31:31.973 This is not a skill.
00:31:32.891 --> 00:31:35.935 It’s the work and intelligence
00:31:36.561 --> 00:31:39.105 of software developers.
00:32:27.570 --> 00:32:29.530 Analog technology
00:32:29.822 --> 00:32:32.116 is understood more easily
00:32:32.575 --> 00:32:34.285 at an early age.
00:32:34.661 --> 00:32:38.039 We should find analog ways
00:32:38.498 --> 00:32:40.124 to teach children
00:32:40.458 --> 00:32:41.501 the basic principals
00:32:41.668 --> 00:32:43.962 of how digital devices work.
00:38:45.781 --> 00:38:47.950 I want to be a teacher.
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:49.035 Businessman.
00:38:49.660 --> 00:38:50.328 Doctor.
00:38:50.953 --> 00:38:51.579 Teacher.
00:38:51.829 --> 00:38:52.788 A dance teacher.
00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:54.081 I’m studying history
00:38:54.248 --> 00:38:55.374 to be a researcher.
00:38:55.750 --> 00:38:57.418 I want to be an engineer.
00:38:57.710 --> 00:38:58.252 Football player.
00:38:58.753 --> 00:39:00.212 Teacher.
00:39:26.864 --> 00:39:29.825 With today’s technology,
00:39:30.117 --> 00:39:32.286 we can study
00:39:32.495 --> 00:39:34.413 whatever we want.
00:39:34.747 --> 00:39:35.706 Our teacher
00:39:35.831 --> 00:39:37.958 is our phone.
00:39:38.250 --> 00:39:40.044 When I have a question,
00:39:40.294 --> 00:39:43.172 my phone has the answer.
00:39:55.393 --> 00:39:56.227 Students are
00:39:56.310 --> 00:39:57.686 (missing class)
00:39:58.771 --> 00:40:00.815 (grades) are going down
00:40:03.025 --> 00:40:03.901 (grades) are going down
00:40:03.984 --> 00:40:04.652 the child
00:40:04.735 --> 00:40:05.486 drops out.
00:40:24.255 --> 00:40:27.216 He used to go out
00:40:27.883 --> 00:40:30.386 but now he doesn’t.
00:40:30.678 --> 00:40:32.680 He stays home
00:40:33.013 --> 00:40:34.765 on his phone.
00:40:35.141 --> 00:40:36.392 After getting the phone,
00:40:36.600 --> 00:40:38.436 he’s always on it.
00:40:38.978 --> 00:40:41.105 He doesn’t talk to us,
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:43.816 only sits in his room playing games.
00:40:45.484 --> 00:40:46.360 I learn a lot
00:40:46.527 --> 00:40:47.903 on my smartphone.
00:40:48.362 --> 00:40:49.488 I discover things
00:40:49.738 --> 00:40:51.115 about the world
00:40:51.449 --> 00:40:53.451 learn new things.
00:40:53.784 --> 00:40:55.119 Is this about the phone?
00:40:56.287 --> 00:40:58.122 Has he changed?
00:40:59.748 --> 00:41:02.918 Now he seems changed.
00:41:05.463 --> 00:41:09.216 Always busy with his phone.
