Forno Trattoria in Mohegan Lake New York review
As a blind Generation Z graduate student, I waited until I was 19 to join social media. That choice gave me the chance to build genuine friendships, grow my confidence, and truly discover myself without the pressure of likes, trends, or constant comparison. Seeing how many kids today struggle with anxiety and stress online inspired me to start this petition for Mental Health Awareness Month. I am calling for a ban on social media for anyone under 16 in New York. This is about protecting the next generation and giving every child the freedom to enjoy real connections and a childhood free from digital pressure. Please sign and share to support this movement and help make a difference for all of our youth. https://c.org/BgfcvH5GRK #MentalHealthAwareness #ProtectOurYouth #BanSocialMediaUnder16 #LetKidsBeKids #NewYorkYouth #NextGenStrong

Kathleen Masciana, founder of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, shares her story from her teenage years—using a flip phone at 10, receiving her first smartphone at 14, and delaying social media until 19. Her experience provides valuable guidance for families seeking to encourage healthy technology habits and real-life connections today.
Celebrating International Podcast day 2025 at Chili's Grill & Bar in Somers New York
B.T.G.S. Daily Reporter Kathleen Ann Masciana is leading a petition advocating for legislation requiring AI chatbots designed for children to include robust parental controls, strict privacy protections, and age-appropriate content. This effort aims to ensure that technology provides a safe and supportive environment for children to learn, explore, and communicate while safeguarding their privacy and well-being. By driving awareness and encouraging public support, the initiative seeks meaningful change to protect all children online. Support this important cause by signing the petition at
In this episode of B.T.G.S. Daily, reporter Kathleen Masciana explores why it's time to rethink how technology shapes childhood, drawing on insights from social psychologist Jonathan Haidt's book The Anxious Generation and his article in The Guardian to explain how early smartphone use is linked to rising anxiety and loneliness in kids. She discusses the benefits of a play-based, real-world childhood and suggests waiting until high school before giving kids smartphones, recommending flip phones for staying in touch without constant distractions.

B.T.G.S. Daily explores New York's statewide ban on cell phones and internet-enabled devices during K–12 school hours, including lunch and study halls, designed to reduce distractions and improve focus. Reporter Kathleen Masciana, a blind college student at Manhattanville University, navigates device policies set by individual professors, as the university does not ban phones outright. Using assistive technology such as a braille computer, tablet for note-taking, and Google Voice, she stays connected while complying with these rules. The episode highlights social psychologist Jonathan Haidt's four essential norms for healthier childhoods in the digital age: no smartphones before high school, no social media before age 16, phone-free schools, and encouraging more free, independent play in the real world. Kathleen interviews her former high school technology teacher Ms. Tina Peretti to discuss the impact of these policies on student focus, safety, and well-being. Listen to the B.T.G.S. Daily wherever you get your podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-b-t-g-s-daily/id1834829855
