This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned.

“Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.”

Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s.

So, what happened?

Screens.

Dr. Jared Horvath explained:

“Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.”

“So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).”

“If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.”

But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.

They’re doing something far worse. And when you take a closer look, it isn’t pretty. 🧵

@MonishNand The unions are sticking to principles rather than people. They stood by the vc when he was wronged. They stand against him now when he is wrong.

Our team has published a paper on the feasibility of using hydrogen powered fuel cell buses in Fiji. An exciting prospect for sustainable transport. #hydrogen #ClimateAction #Transportation

[Krishnil Ram (Phd) @Krishnil_Ram]

Those who are suddenly concerned about #FukushimaWaterRelease probably have no idea how nuclear power plants work. Japan has no choice but to decommision their damaged plants this way. The acceptibility of nuclear energy is the real problem.

@MPCFiji Check the location of the conference and his research area. Girmit diaspora is not just confined to Fiji. Do some research.

A lot of technology is driven by common imagination of mankind already written in fiction. ChatGPT might give us Data from Star Trek one day.

@SelaiAdimaitoga @RichardKNaidu Maybe the public needs more information and awareness as to when and where these consultations are held. More importantly awareness is needed on WHY it is so important to put forward your ideas.

As we age..our problems seem so large that we often forget the world is crumbling under wars, inflation, disasters, disease, corruption and climate change. #findingpurpose

[Richard Naidu @RichardKNaidu]

Professor Brij Lal wrote this obituary for his friend Justice Jai Ram Reddy, but he died before Justice Reddy did. Read about one while just enjoying the fluid, beautiful writing of the other. In today’s @fijitimes

[Pio Tikoduadua @piotikoduaduafj]

Bula friends, I hope that your evening is going well as we all wait for Fiji's game.

Today I learnt that 'FFS' does not mean "Fiji First Supporters".

God Bless Fiji. 🇫🇯

It is immorally, indecently wrong to say to poor people “we will only give you the basic welfare assistance that you and your family need if you get a vaccination”.

What goes on in the heads of this Government?
