The Anxious Generation: Fighting Big Tech for Young Minds 📵

This article from Guardian primarily focuses on Jonathan Haidt, author of “The Anxious Generation,” and his urgent message regarding the detrimental impact of digital technology, particularly smartphones and social media, on the mental well-being of young people. Haidt advocates for specific norms like delaying smartphone use until age 14 and social media until 16, promoting phone-free schools, and encouraging more unsupervised play.

The article discusses the reception and influence of his book, noting its impact on policymakers and parents globally. It also touches upon criticisms of his work, particularly regarding the correlation versus causation argument, and highlights Haidt’s transition into a campaigner for these changes, driven by concerns about social collapse and the future well-being of upcoming generations.
