''Lot of people think it's really funny, really cool. And there're a lot of people who get the heebie-jeebies from it and think 'what are we doing to our kids?” Jordy Kaufman, infant and child development psychologist was quoted as saying.

Dr. Kaufman, who is also the Director and founder of the Swinburne Baby Lab, has realized that it is now the time for conducting a research into the effects of touchscreen apps on children’s brains. Since, not only young children but infants are seen playing or looking or sliding a finger at iPads these days.

He says that modern generation is too friendly to these technologies. Though, the review that involved some 46 children of ages 4 to 6 years has shown that touchscreens were beneficial and not harmful for their brains. Children were made to play or draw both on their own as well as on iPads so as to test their attention and problem-solving capabilities.

It is being said that it is still important to confirm if these play a role in the development of the brain of children or deteriorate the same. Since, a lot of evidence is there that other gadgets like television have an adverse effect on the brains of watchers.
