The Screen Is Rewiring Your Child's Brain: The Shocking Truth from NTNU Research

Experimental Studies in Learning Technology and Child–Computer Interaction

Michail Giannakos

You hand a tablet to a seven-year-old. They swipe, tap, and zoom like a prodigy. But what if that seamless interaction is actually a lie? This video reveals the groundbreaking findings from Michail Giannakos, professor at NTNU, in his book *Experimental Studies in Learning Technology and Child–Computer Interaction*. We dive into the hidden cognitive decline caused by frictionless design, the myth of perfect educational apps, and how biometric sensors—measuring sweat, eye movement, and heart rate—expose the real cost of digital learning. Discover why making software too easy destroys learning, how kids' brains get hijacked by virtual avatars, and the ethical dilemma of turning childhood into a data mine. If you're a parent, educator, or designer, you need to see this.
