Further analysis of the impact of technology on the developing child indicates that while the vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile and attachment systems are under stimulated, the visual and auditory sensory systems are in “overload.” This sensory imbalance creates huge problems in overall neurological development, as the brain’s anatomy, chemistry and
pathways become permanently altered and impaired (26). Young children who are exposed to violence through TV and video games are in a high state of adrenalin and stress, as their bodies do not know that what they are watching is not real. Children who overuse technology report persistent body sensations of overall “shaking,” increased breathing and heart rate, and a general state of “unease.” This can best be described as a persistent hyper-vigilant sensory system, still “on alert” for the oncoming assault from video game characters.
