Stuck in Our Screens: Social Media, AI, and Why Adults Are Worse Than Kids
Description
This week on Dawnversations, I chat with author Katy Allen about her new book Stuck in Our Screens. Spoiler alert: the drama isn’t just with teens—adults are just as guilty (maybe worse!). We dive into how our phones, scrolling habits, and social media antics are messing with real-life conversations, family dinners, and friendships. But don’t worry—we keep it real, relatable, and yes, even a little funny. If you’ve ever side-eyed someone at the table glued to their phone (or been that person), this episode is for you.
KATHLEEN P. ALLEN is a graduate of the University of Rochester, Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development, Rochester, NY. A lifelong educator, she worked with the Alberti Center for Bullying Abuse Prevention at the University at Buffalo, SUNY from 2012 to 2023. Dr. Allen is a program evaluator, researcher, educator, writer, parent, and grandparent. She has published several articles on adolescent social drama.
