Then gradually it develops a dependency on these, especially when the child he was given his first cell phone you want to be communicating with your friends and be playing late into the night. This practice is greater in adolescents, mostly even alter its rhythms of life when you do not sleep the hours needed and expose their view to such radiation. They have conducted surveys and observations that clearly the guys who text more time in darkness affects them rest without knowing the damage it is causing. This is affecting not only vision but also learning, memory and social life as we noted the news.
