SOCIAL MEDIA - The iGen

"Are smartphones making a generation unhappy?" PBS NewsHour 8/7/2017

REMINDER:  Don't blame the smartphone, the problem is how people use it.

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The promise of social media is instant human connection.  But for many teens, greater use of social media mans a far greater sense of isolation, according to an increasing body of evidence.  William Brangham speaks with Jean Twenge, author of "iGen" and a new article in The Atlantic, about the ways smartphones are affecting an entire generation's mental health.
