Screenformation

by Robert Rose-Coutré

Screenformation tells the story of forty years of scientific studies showing the harmful effects of passive screentime. It provides a rich variety of published findings that prove screentime damages mental functioning, mental health, emotional development, and physical health. The book also confirms the connection between the omnipresence of screens and a dysfunctional society. It shows how first TV, then video, then passive screentime on any device, undermined the health of individuals and communities.

The first half of the book focuses on the ways screentime damages people and takes the joy out of life. It pinpoints exactly how our existence has been compromised. Just when all seems lost, the second half of the book focuses on remedies. It shines a light on our strengths, which can lead us to a richer life.

The book is firmly substantiated by hard biological science, strong psychological research, many academic studies, and expert commentary. The published evidence is overwhelming. This book brings it all together.
