How much does that affect the cognitive competences?

For example, children who have access to Internet, laptops, computers, reading, new information at a young age.

Do they have better cognitive and intelligence skills than adults?

Children who do not experience anything at a young age. Except only football games on the street and school. No internet or reading, or Facebook or mobile?

Can't you generalize. Someone who juggles alone with the ball all day has different skills than someone who plays soccer all day in the team.

Someone who looks all over the internet for things that interest him - eg. Subject knowledge xy - has other competencies than someone who scrolled through Facebook.

etc. Pp.

Everything can be helpful or harmful, sometimes it depends on the quantity.

Well, children who just squat in front of the screen and use media (among other things, books include books, that's still okay) and that very early, will simply suffer in their motor skills… Sense of balance, climbing, muscles do not form right because they are constantly sitting, sitting, sitting… The eyes are also looking at the bright screen (irony).

Do not experience anything? Playing football is super exciting. The children can let off steam, reduce aggression, train and train frustration tolerance, be sent motor skills, romp, kick, feel for the ball, strategies superior (even cognitive!) And and and… When you go out, you always experience something. The screen is only two-dimensional… Children who are really constantly on the screen often have thinking problems. 3-dimensionality often falls by the wayside. This also influences clearly that thinking, so the cognition. So you can't say that. The balance between media and personal experience should be given and always balanced. Without self-experience (eg with the senses) no learning effect in the smallest. They may then have the knowledge of the internet and co, but in practice they may not be able to do it because they "fall down, get up, feel, taste, smell, etc, lack", "touching," touching

It depends on what you mean by a young age. Children under 7 years should have neither cell phones nor PCs. However, as a matter of course, they need parents who deal with them.

By the way, Newton, Goethe, Shakespeare, Marie Curie, Hawkins, Einstein all did not have a computer or cell phones at a young age. None of them.

Computer, TV and mobile phones do not replace parents who deal with them.
