Today’s episode is coming to you from the Fast Company Innovation Festival that took place in New York last week. I interviewed author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt on the state of technology’s effect on our children. A conversation that is more important now than it’s ever been.
Jonathan’s book, The A nxious Generation, came out last year and ignited a national debate about childhood in the age of smartphones and social media. Since then, more than half of U.S. states have moved to limit phone use in schools, Australia has announced plans to restrict social media for kids under 16, and the EU is weighing similar measures. Haidt’s argument has become a rallying point in a broader movement to protect children’s mental health as new tech risks emerge
