How long Should You Be Able To Sit In front Of A Screen For?

Children will have spent a year sitting in front of screens by the time they are seven years old.

Technology has really progressed over the years. You wouldn't believe that back in those days when your parents were kids, they didn't have TV's, computers, nintendo's, wii's, playstation's, x-box's or anything! And look at us now, look how much technology we own and have made now! It's amazing how these kind of things can be created and made so fast! I mean look at the iPhone, there has been many creations of that very clever
phone. Infact iPhone 5 is ment to be coming out in October 2012 this year! They just keep coming and coming!

However because we now have all this new technology like TV's and computers/laptops, children are absoloutley adicted to the things! Some ten and 11-year-olds have up to five screens at home with children sitting for an average of 6.1 hours A DAY in front of them! How ridicilous is that!? Researcher Aric Sigman is now calling on parents to bring in time limits for their children to be in front of screens with under-threes banned altogether from all small screens. He thinks both children and adults are becoming addicted to screen technology and should use it less. But somehow I think this won't change a thing how kids
look at technology...

But what do you think? Do you think there should there be limits for how long a kid can sit in front of a screen? Let us know what you think in a comment below…
