Who is growing up with his children--new book picks 6Martin SCM Li Zewu Shaoli translation of Taibai Literary publishing house content Introduction E ERA, with the children grow up who is it? This book explores the crisis of children in e era from the law of children's growth, analyzes the harm caused by "screen culture", and puts forward countermeasures for society and family. Repetitive stress injuries nowadays, in many schools, even in children's classes, computers are used heavily. An average student spends more than 16 hours a week on a computer, more than 3 hours a day, a survey has found. The complications of repetitive nervous injury and heart-skin channel (Carpeltunnel) in adults have been noticed, and health and safety training and ergonomic aids in the workplace are being promoted, but these are often overlooked in schools and at home. Case study Charlos Tes Cook, 14, said she had been having severe neck pains since she began working in a computer four years ago. She spends at least an hour on the keyboard every night and has a four-hour weekend. Charlos receives a treatment every three months from the chiropractic therapist. Sometimes the pain was so severe that she had to take a day off. "I usually feel a lot of pain in my neck and upper back when I finish a big piece of homework," Charlos said. I have to sit in the right posture, but it's not easy for me because once I focus on my schoolwork it's hard to stay seated properly (the Daily Mail, November 28, 2000). "Long typing, mouse clicks, this limited slight hand activity can impose pressure on the hands, tendons, muscles, nerves and bones of children who are still in a sensitive age." In fact, computers are like High-tech tights for kids. The child's body wants to be free, and the computer screen does not move as easily as the child's growth. "This is the first generation of children who started using computers since their skeletal muscles were growing," said Dr. Rien Stelleko of the University of Ke-cho in Australia. If we do not have the knowledge of safe use of computers as soon as possible, we will see a large number of children maimed by the use of computers (Harvard Medical School Bulletin, SCEC website). "A generation that uses computers will face lifelong pain," the expert warns: One-third of children will suffer permanent bodily injury or illness due to overuse of computers. Experts worry that "repetitive stress injury" can spread like an infectious disease in a younger generation that touches the keyboard and mouse in front of the computer for hours. A study published yesterday showed that 36% of 11~14岁 children suffer from severe persistent back pain. However, the study of the impact of computers on children and adolescents has rarely been paid attention to. Professor Peter Barkol, from the Lobens Center for Health Economics at Noose University, said the findings of a survey of 2000 teenagers have sounded a heavy alarm! Studies show that these students ' back pain is likely to be a lifelong problem. Professor Barkol presided over a meeting in which he pointed out that part of the problem was that these children had to be in school andThe home uses computers or devices designed for adults. Many parents are unaware of the potential danger of a child sitting at a computer for a long time twisting his neck, stretching his wrist, and lacking support. The professor suggested that the classroom should be assessed in accordance with health and safety. He advises parents to monitor their children's use of computers at home, to get them up and doing appropriate activities, and to remind them of the right posture (the Daily Mail, September 10, 2002, 15). In Australia, schools are widely used in computers for much longer than in Britain, and more and more problems follow. Dr Stelleko's study found that children as young as 10 years were suffering from repetitive stress injuries. The children he surveyed used computers for more than 3 hours a day, with 60% suffering from various neck, back, shoulder aches and headaches. Allen Hez, of the University of Vannes, suggests that laptops are more damaging to skeletal muscle than desktop computers. The children were carrying heavy laptops, awkward postures and taut muscles. The laptop's display is too low, causing the children's neck to get nervous, and the high keyboard is straining their wrists. His advice to teens is to take a break every 20 minutes while using a computer and not to spend more than 45 minutes in front of the computer. How today's children face lifelong back pain A study by the British Chiropractic Association suggests that children who are exposed to computer screens for hours on the ground and burdened with heavy schoolbags can cause lifelong back pain. The association says modern children are more likely to suffer joint and back pain than ever before ... About 38% of parents estimate that their children spend more than five hours a week using computers or playing computer games. Teens should limit their use of the computer to 40 minutes at a time and have spine support. The society says teenagers are facing a very serious situation, and they are now doing back checks that have become a routine of life like dentists. The Tim Har of the association said children's backs were very vulnerable and their young and delicate bones were still developing, and our research showed extreme anxiety among parents (the Daily Mail, October 21, 2002).
