Generation Anxiety: smartphones have created a gen Z mental health crisis – but there are ways to fix it

Watch this and weep. Those kids have a bright future in the psych ward. Not as doctors.

I'm wary of clicking on links that I don't recognise and have never heard of, but took a gamble and clicked on that one.

I found the footage of the toddler in bed 'scrolling' a non-existent smartphone to be particularly disturbing. It's not often I find myself agreeing with your opinions, but on this occasion I think you may well be right about those children... or at least some of them.

And it's the speed that technology has advanced which is unprecedented, who knows what effect it will have. It's only 5 minutes ago, anthropologically speaking, that we were sitting in our caves, clubbing potential mates (naming no names:)

That's literally addiction. Those kids have the same biochemical reaction in their brain as a junkie going cold turkey. Unless their parents put them through some serious therapy, they are not going to enjoy much their life. I have seen many parents putting their kids in front of a smartphone/Ipad as soon as they could hold it. No play, no socialization, no activities, only phone. I wonder how they will develop.
