Juguetes clásicos abandonados en una estantería mientras un niño mira absorto una tableta con luz brillante en una habitación semioscura
The plot of Toy Story 5 introduces a conflict that resonates in millions of homes worldwide: Bonnie's attention, once dedicated to Jessie, Buzz, and the rest of her toys, now shifts toward an electronic tablet. This narrative approach transcends fiction and reflects a growing concern about excessive screen time in children's lives.
The film doesn't condemn technology, but raises profound questions about its effects when it takes center stage in childhood. What happens when digital devices replace traditional play? How does this impact the integral development of young ones?
The concern is not limited to the cinematic realm. Numerous scientific studies have warned that prolonged time in front of digital devices can have concrete effects on child development. One of the most recent findings comes from a binational project coordinated by Dr. Alexandro López González at IBERO University (Universidad Iberoamericana), where the impact of technology on bodily and social skills during childhood is analyzed.
IBERO is a prestigious private university located in Mexico City, part of a network of Jesuit universities across Latin America and Spain, known for its research in social sciences and education.
The IBERO research argues that the challenge is not about eliminating technology, but learning to integrate it without displacing fundamental experiences.
The interdisciplinary team promotes educational robotics proposals that seek to transform the relationship between children and digital devices:
Access to devices continues to rise, making reflection on how to balance technology and child development urgent. The question is no longer whether screens will be present, but how to prevent them from replacing essential moments for physical, social, and emotional growth.
