Screen munchies report
With technology consuming almost every minute of our lives, we generally think it's fine to be in front of a screen for 3 hours a day. In this project, we will find out if technology affects us, our brains and the people around us. To accomplish this, we will have 6 test subjects from Animas High School, all freshman's, to try their best not to be in front of a screen for more than 2 hours a day, for 3 days, and give them a survey on their mood, and their ability to take a test. Our test subjects include Owen H, Owen O, Tyler, Jake, Lance, Bryce and Cody. We will have all the subjects play at least 2 hours of video games, 2 hours of TV, and double the time the next day, we will then test their well being.
Our findings will likely be that students find games fun, but they feel guilty that they are not with family, but they feel satisfaction watching tv with family. We believe that the subjects will say they have eyestrain, and maybe even the occasional phantom vibration. We should see results that point to that lights can affect people's brains and their well being. A physician in Israel found that it is safer to use a phone with stronger signal, because it can reduce radiation that goes into your body. Another study found that having a phone in your pocket can reduce a male's sperm count.
Hypothesis: If computer screens affect a person's mood then screens will affect someone's well being because they feel guilty for the opinions of others.
Question: How many hours does the normal person spend in front of a screen? and how does it affect them, and the people around them.
A paragraph from breaking muscle.com, said “Finding a way to combat screen time in children, who don't have inboxes to tend to and spreadsheets to create, is a bit more simple: Lay down the law and set limitations.
However, that's not always as easy as it sounds, since screens can be addictive, particularly for young children. That might sound extreme, but as of May 2013, "internet use disorder" (IUD) will be added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association. In order to be added to the manual, research had to demonstrate not only that screen time can become a regular habit that has the potential to disrupt daily life, but also that there is neurological evidence to back up that claim. Like other addictions, screen time creates notable changes in brain chemistry - most notably, in the release of dopamine.”
Our results proved breakinmuscle.com’s analysis correct.
