And apparently the instinct to multitask kicks in early—because even infants are doing it these days.
而且显然这种执行多项任务的本能很早就开始了—因为甚至婴儿都是这样。

So says a new survey presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies, in San Diego.
在圣地亚哥的年度儿科学术协会上一项新的调查公布了他们的研究结果。

Nearly every household had a TV; more than three quarters had smartphones and tablets.
几乎每个家庭都有一台电视，且超过四分之三的家庭有智能手机和平板电脑。

According to the parents, infants just six months old were already logging half an hour a day on mobile devices.
而父母们表示仅6个月大的婴儿已养成了每天在移动设备上花费半小时的习惯。

A third were swiping and tapping the screens; and a quarter of the babies were actually making calls—although probably by accident.
三分之一的婴儿会滑动和触摸屏幕;四分之一还会抱着电话打—尽管可能是偶然拨通。

By age two, nearly all the kids were reported to be using tablets and smartphones—sometimes while glued to the TV.
到2岁时，几乎所有孩子都会使用平板电脑和智能手机—有时还是边看电视边玩。

Their take is, kids under two shouldn't be staring at screens at all—because they'll learn more slowly from screens than from interacting with people.
他们认为2岁以下的孩子根本不应该盯着屏幕，因为相比同真人互动学习，从电子屏幕中吸收知识要慢的多。

But the researchers behind this new survey say the effect of smartphones and tablets on young brains isn't that clear—it is new technology, after all.
但研究人员表示，智能手机和平板电脑对年轻人大脑的影响目前仍不明确—毕竟它们还是新技术。

And their agnosticism about mobile technology was perhaps best reflected on the last page of the survey, where they invited survey takers to enter a raffle—to win an iPad.
而且他们对移动技术的不可知论也得到了最完美的验证—在调查的最后环节，他们邀请参与者们进行抽奖—而奖品就是一台平板电脑。
