Summary

A study by the Faculty of Education (FE) of Unicamp, in Campinas (SP), concluded that children who use electronic devices without control and do not play, or play little, in the "real world" may have developmental delays. The research was carried out with boys and girls aged 8 to 12 years old, who spend four to six hours in front of computer screens, tablets, cell phones and video games, according to educational researcher Ana Lúcia Pinto de Camargo Meneghel.
