Gen Z packed an anxiety bag / Put the phone down for a week / Workers are sabotaging AI
from News Sidequest
A survey finds 61% of Gen Z have a diagnosed anxiety condition and 43% have a panic attack at least once a month — and they're building curated "anxiety bags" to manage it on the go. Also: a new study finds that blocking internet on your phone for just two weeks reversed the cognitive equivalent of ten years of aging. And nearly half of Gen Z workers admit to actively sabotaging their company's AI rollout — and the fear driving it is more understandable than it sounds. Plus the world chess champion's perfectly executed selfie trap, two men and 96 stolen bananas, and a funeral brawl nobody planned for. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
