Abstract
Since the advent of television, there has been concern about how “screen time” might affect the developing brains of children and contribute to health problems. Interacting with a device will inevitably change the brain and “how much” is “too much” is a question that preoccupies parents, educators and health professionals (Dickson et al., 2018; Gillespie, 2019). I invite health professionals to turn their gaze towards the provision of mental health care and consider how engagement with information systems may be impacting on their own development, view of mental health service provision and relationships with service users. I will focus on the Australian experience which may provide salutary lessons for other countries whose health services are not as far along the journey of becoming paperless and protocol-driven.
