This is something I’ve been thinking about quite a bit. How to take these problems that a growing number of psychologists, psychiatrists and technologists understand to be problems, and repackaging that in a way that is palatable and effective for various audiences.
I think articles like the one here need to exist to get communities like this one talking about how to expand the conversation.
The trouble is, what is the right way to reach someone in their teens, at a time in their life when they’re probably far less worried about the “health” aspects of time online than they are about fitting in with their peers?
I’ve wondered if the only way is to embrace the social media platforms people find themselves consumed with - to subtly deliver/grow the message that they should unplug.
I’d say this conversation should start in schools, but am not optimistic that this would actually pan out.
