MSP295. Primal Screen: Techno Panic And The True Impacts Of Screentime

In recent weeks, governments worldwide have been grappling with the challenges of social media, from censorship concerns to age restrictions. But amidst the political posturing and tech company controversies, what's the reality of screen time's impact on young people?

Join Richard and Matt as they delve into the complexities of this issue. They explore the historical context of "techno-panics," question the effectiveness of government interventions, and examine the conflicting research on screen time's effects on mental health, physical well-being, and social development. They also discuss the challenges of navigating the digital landscape as parents, highlighting the need for open communication, digital literacy, and a balanced approach that acknowledges both the potential benefits and risks of technology.
