The Digital Dependency Disease

We’re all for the wonders of the digital age and celebrate the huge productivity gains from cell phones, the internet, social media networks, and now artificial intelligence.

But is too much of a good thing a bad thing? Is the online, social media, and computer games obsession/addiction creating a generation of socially isolated and digitally dependent kids?

This chart shows that teens are now spending on average less than one hour a day with real-life friends – and that’s a third of the time than was true 20 years ago. We fear that online activities and “screen time” are the crack cocaine of this young generation.

Parents: that’s not healthy.
