When I was a kid, it was video games that were ruining a generation, in my parents generation it was "the devils music" that was turning them into a bunch of degenerates.
I wonder what the issues where when Galileo was a kid?
They title says "epidemic of teenage mental illness", but do we not discriminate between mental illness and mental health? Where is that line?
I'm not suggesting social media doesn't have it's challenges, but it is the tool. We need to take responsibility for what we view/engage with, just like diet, we now must understand we have a mental diet and we need to treat our digital tools as the kitchen.
