À propos de ce contenu audio
Are young people actually less independent than previous generations — or are we just becoming the “back in my day” crowd?
After hearing the author of The Anxious Generation on The Daily Show, I can’t stop thinking about what I’m seeing in real life.
Today I talk about:
Countries like Australia banning social media for kids under 16
Schools limiting phone access
The growing research linking smartphones to teen anxiety
And real-world examples from my work as a wildlife biologist
When a young professional turns down a fully paid field job because he’s afraid to live without constant connection… what does that say?
When most summer interns quit because they can’t handle being out of cell service… what does that mean for resilience, risk-taking, and independence?
This isn’t about dunking on Gen Z. It’s about asking whether constant connectivity is quietly rewiring childhood — and what we can do about it.
Just a guy in a truck wondering if we’re raising an anxious generation — and how we help them reclaim confidence.
