2. Starting point for the project
The results of surveys made 2013 show following facts:
Time spent with screen ( television, computer, iPad, smartphone ) is increasing - causing addiction
First time in history: many 60 year old people are in better physical shape than average 20 year old adult
25% of young men are rejected from army because of their poor physical performance
Lack of concentration skills - addiction to computer games, smartphones and digital relations
How does this effect to learning abilities?

All pupils had a good and healthy nutrition
All would have minimum 8 hours sleep
All would have at least 60 minutes physical activity in a day
TV or Computer time would be max. 2 hours in a day
Everyone had a few friends to communicate with
Would there be less learning difficulties?
