Solo episode: Disconnected: The Silent Crisis Affecting Our Children's Future
Update: 2025-06-18
Description
In this impactful solo episode of Getting There, Brogan delves into the pressing issue of children's mental health in today's digital age. Highlighting the growing disconnect despite increased connectivity, the episode explores how excessive screen time is linked to serious attention issues, with children spending more than two hours a day being significantly more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. The conversation emphasises the dangers of seemingly harmless gaming and kids' apps, which are designed to profit from children using manipulative psychological techniques similar to those found in gambling. With shocking statistics revealing that advertising firms can collect up to 72 million data points on children by the age of 13, the host underscores the urgent need for awareness and action to protect our children from the hidden costs of digital engagement.
