as someone in gen-z who didn’t have a ton of limiters on my screen time. Gen alpha is fucked. I was only constantly exposed to the internet starting at 8 and I can only imagine how muchvworse it will be for someone who had a screen in their face since before their brain could form memories.
My buddy who works in a high school said he was working on something in a classroom for longer than usual witnessed the end of two class periods - the last few minutes when the lesson was over but the bell hadn’t rang yet. Instead of kids turning to each other and socializing until the bell rang the entire class just simultaneously reached into their pockets and pulled out their phones in silence. He asked and the teacher said it was absolutely typical.
