Paper books over screens

The reality is that screens have taken over the world—smartphones, tablets, computers—all within just a few decades.

We also now understand that, physiologically speaking, it is recommended for young children to avoid screens as much as possible and instead use paper books.

It is better for their brain development.

And when we consider that our natural neuroplasticity—our capacity to adapt—is at its peak until around age 25, but can still be nurtured even after, it becomes clear that having screen-free time is also beneficial for adults.

It’s not that we don’t recognize the advantages these new technologies bring.

This is simply about protecting the development of our children!

Children have this extraordinary gift—the ability to live in their own fantasy worlds—and books have the unique power to nurture that trait!

    Harmony may have been the word that best described Esperia—a true utopia where nature, living creatures, and the Espers who populated this world spent their days in mutual respect.

    We quickly forget what we don’t see before our eyes. That may be why the history of wars and violence seems to repeat itself again and again. No one can truly understand what happens during wars, during genocides, unless they witness it themselves. Most of those making decisions live in elite spheres, disconnected from the
