Are Screens Bad for Young People?

Dr. Mike Brooks

Are screens as bad for young people as we fear? We cover all of the important topics in this episode of The Reasonably Good Life (so much so that I had to break this into two episodes). In this episode, I interview Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson. Chris is a psychology professor at Stetson University, and one of the world's leading researchers on the effects that screens are having on young people. Chris has been researching and publishing papers on this topic for about two decades. Chris and I have been cyber colleagues/friends for several years now, but this is our first meeting in cyberspace! We had a fun, lively, and in-depth conversation, and we don't leave a stone unturned on this important and timely topic. Part 2 of this interview will be posted next week - enjoy!
