“We are a guinea pig generation"

Science catches up with what we already knew

This dark side of the Internet is costing young people their jobs and social lives--Washington Post

“We are a guinea pig generation." Couldn't be more true. The previous generations, the Baby Boomers and Gen X, were guinea pig generations for toxic industrial food systems that gave them heart attacks, diabetes, and cancer. The current generation is a guinea pig generation for toxic media.

I'm positively baffled by parents who give their kids iPhones and let them sit around all day on the laptop. Basically training them to be addicts. I'm still more baffled by parents who model internet addiction to their kids by their own behaviors.

Today parents need to use every possible means to get their kids off of internet and live regular lives. I have a flip phone and don't own a computer, still manage to function just fine.
