Just came across this article about a book titled:
The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing An Epidemic of Mental Illness
I haven’t read it, but I’m a little concerned that the article has zero mention of the built environment. Thoughts?
Doesn’t mention what transitioned the Millenials into phones: The Game Boy. And before that, the television. However television is much more passive than gaming, the video games came first then social media and mobile phones gamified real-life simulation.
Edit: I like games as much as the next person, but come on let’s be real. I have a very difficult time putting my phone down and when I was a kid I had a difficult time putting the Game Boy down. It’s a habit first. It’s a dependence second.
