I recently read a book titled The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, the central premise being that smart phones and their social media platform connections is what’s driving the epidemic of anxiety amongst teenagers that is currently sweeping the world. One statistic particularly alarmed me, being that the average teenager in America receives a social media ping every two minutes. I couldn’t help but think of it as a form of electronic treadmill, as portrayed in this cartoon.
