[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 694202, member: 1963"] There was a major study done on this in the mid-aughts a regarding ADHD children and instant gratification as regarding electronics and later subtance abuse. While they found that ADHDers did have a considerably higher rate of substance abuse and difficulty in delaying gratification, they couldn't definitively link "screens" to difficulty delaying gratification. I think a lot of it is that its a LOT harder being a child, adolescent, or young adult now, than it was when I was growing up. We're not evolving fast enough to deal with the things we have to, and kids ann young adults are turning to ways to numb/escape the stress and fear engendered by the world and society in which they find themselves.
