In previous newsletter articles , some readers may recall me writing about the potential harm to children from excessive screen time and social media. While RHAC is committed to reducing screen time and supporting students to limit and effectively regulate their use of social media, this doesn’t mean that we are Luddites or opposed to technology.
We don’t need to look too far to recognise the invaluable positive contribution technology has made to society. Take health care as an example; technology has made an important contribution to improving healthcare. Heart rate monitors can detect cardiac arrhythmia. Diabetics use blood glucose monitors. Remote monitoring technology allows patients to use a small device to monitor their health issues and reduce the need for them to go to hospital.
