Experts warn that excessive use of smartphones and tablet computers by children will cause serious long-term damage to their personalities and psyches. The number of children addicted to iPad products in the UK has soared in recent years, and some of them have had to undergo psychological treatment as a result, with the youngest being just four years old. The four-year-old girl from the southeast of England is a fan of the iPad since she was a child, and at the age of three, her parents let her play with the tablet computer for three or four hours. Once her parents took away the tablet computer, she seemed irritable and out of control. Her parents finally had to take her to a psychiatrist to receive psychotherapy. Dr. Graham, a psychiatrist and expert in the treatment of addictive behavior with modern technology products, said he believes that many children now suffer from the same video game compulsions as the four-year-old girl. The parents of the little girl sought assistance, not overly nervous, because from the girl’s addiction to iPad and related electronic products observed, if it continues to eleven years old, may need mandatory hospitalization to receive treatment. Graham pointed out that modern technology products, although convenient, but if out of control addiction, just like addiction to alcohol, can not be extricated. And children are generally addicted to electronic products phenomenon is more worrying, children play iPad play to see a psychiatrist, “is not exaggerated”. He warned parents, do not easily to smart phones or tablet computers to appease their children, stressing that the premature use of these products will cause serious long-term damage to children’s physical and mental health. In the past three years, the number of people who must psychologically rely on electronic technology products has increased by 30 percent. According to the latest survey, more than half of the 1,000 parents surveyed admitted to allowing their young children to play with their smartphones or tablets, and one in seven respondents allowed their children to use tablets and related electronics for four hours a day. There are already hospitals in London that offer “digital detoxification” programs specifically for teenagers and children. The cost of the 28-day program is £16,000 (about NT$720,000). Those who receive treatment must be hospitalized for 28 days and surrender all personal electronics. For the first seven days of hospitalization, electronic technology is completely disabled; each room is equipped with a surveillance window to monitor the treatment recipient 24 hours a day. The hospital pointed out that some patients appeared suicidal during the treatment process.
