The Attention Crisis: How Screens, Algorithms, and AI Are Rewiring the Next Generation
Update: 2026-01-24
Description
Are we getting smarter — or just more wired?
In this 15-minute episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, we explore the attention economy and what constant screens, algorithm-driven platforms, and AI-generated content may be doing to the way the next generation learns, focuses, and thinks.
This isn’t a political argument or a technology takedown. It’s a practical, thoughtful conversation about:
- What “cognitive strength” really means — attention, memory, and executive function
- How modern platforms compete for engagement rather than understanding
- Why focus and deep thinking matter in a free society
- The role of families, schools, and communities in protecting attention and character in a digital world
This episode is about choice, responsibility, and resilience in an age of endless distraction.
We’re in this together, folks. Believe it. For the Republic! Cheers.
