Although it's fair to say that much more of our lives take place in front of screens than they once did, there have been multiple schools of thought on how kids should use them for decades.
While some can recall growing up in households where the TV was essentially a babysitter, others can definitely recall begrudgingly turning off the video games when their parents made them go play outside.

Unfortunately, that question still doesn't have a clear-cut answer, but a team of researchers have some interesting insights after scanning some young children's brains.
