I was sitting in my exam room with an adult patient when I noticed that her four year old was being entertained by a video on a cell phone. Over the last few years there has been an explosion of hand held devices with video capability. It will be interesting to see the effects of viewing such detail at such a close distance over an extended period of time. I truly believe that the incidence of nearsightedness and possibly astigmatism can only increase with this.
I could only imagine with time these devices are going to act as "pacifiers" to kids even younger than the one just mentioned.

A recent Morgan Stanley report says mobile internet is growing faster than desktop internet did and total usage will soon eclipse desktop internet usage.
ReplyDeleteIt's growth will be led by: 1) Facebook 2) mobile (clearly led by Apple’s iPhone / iTouch / iTunes) and 3) the web
We have entered the beginning of the "mobile internet cycle." The fifth cycle of the last half century.
It's amazing how fast change is coming these days!
