Screens, teens & the unforeseen
We swipe, tap and scroll often before we can even walk or talk. For young and old alike, nothing has ever so profoundly captivated our collective attention as our screens, filling our waking, and sometimes even sleeping, hours to the brim.
But how much screen time is too much? Is binge-watching bad for us? For our eyes? How does it affect us? How does it affect our kids? So many questions, so many open browser tabs, so little time…
Hear about emerging and established evidence on the effects of screen use, and what our digital future may bring.
