The internet is leaving children brain-dead: Inventor warns 'Google generation who spend life in front of screens are losing creativity and skills'





One of Britain's leading inventors has warned that a 'Google generation' who rely on the internet for everything are in danger of becoming 'brain-dead'.

Trevor Baylis, who invented the wind-up radio, said children are losing creativity and practical skills because they spend too much time in front of screens.

I feel that their title is giving off the wrong impression.



Man has a point. There're lots of things to be learnt online, but working with your hands isn't generally one of them. More advanced forms of VR could probably change that, but that's something for the future.
