Come out and play

In 1959, the teenagers were outside. In 1979, they were outside... just with different music and considerably less supervision. In 1999, when not at the mall, they were still outside.Starting somewhere between 2010 and 2015, the social lives of entire generations moved inside. They moved into phones, bedrooms and screens. And the data that followed on anxiety, loneliness, depression, and social disconnection is unlike anything researchers had seen before.This episode is about what happened, why it happened faster than anyone understood in the moment, and what it has to do with the way any of us navigate change in a world moving faster than our ability to see what we're trading away.
