I suspect technology is a contributing factor, but much of this is coming from distracted and stressed parents. We need more data.

- constantcrying 3y agoI agree. The parents, who also are constantly on their phones are the bigger problem here. Social alienation is always universal. I remember when I was young, without a phone, I didn't have anything to do but either play alone or play with friends. So if we wanted social interaction we had to meet up after school and tell our parents we were coming in the afternoon. Only later video games came in and we spent our evenings playing those.
- xg15 3y agoAfter 50 years and two generations growing up with computers, we need more data? When exactly would you have enough data to make a conclusion?
- micromacrofoot 3y agoit’s not all the same… phones and social media algorithms are dramatically different, and existing is different from structured studies with reproducible outcomes
- gsich 3y agoSmartphones are worse. Passive devices, no haptic feedback. Last one is especially bad for <5y olds.
