Podcasts about smartphones

Smartphones and social media have changed childhood in ways few of us could have predicted. For starters, many children are now getting their first phone at just 10 or 11 — far younger than the technology was ever designed for. Once that phone is in their hand, it can interfere with sleep, friendships, independence, and even mental health. So what can parents do? Guest Jean Twenge, Ph.D,  is a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, the author 10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World. In this books she gives parents some really useful suggestions roadmap for helping their children deal with this epidemic. Jean talks about how the culture around childhood has shifted since the rise of smartphones, and what concrete steps parents can take right now to raise healthier, happier, more independent kids.

According to data from Finder.com, the average Brit now spends 4 hours and 14 minutes using their smartphone each day. It's hardly surprising; smartphone use has grown consistently over the last 15 years, to the extent that the devices have become almost like an extension of our arms and hands.  Given we tend to hold our phones out in front of us when using them, our heads bow down in quite an unnatural position to look at the screen. And doing so for extended periods can cause posture problems, which is what American chiropractor Dr Dean Fishman realised back in 2008. That was while examining a 17-year-old patient who had booked an appointment for neck pains and headaches. Fishman went on to coin the term “text neck” to describe her condition. What exactly does text neck look like? What's the difference between text neck and text neck wrinkles? What can people do to avoid bad postures and the complications that they cause?

Una ricerca condotta sul più grande database mondiale di salute mentale dice senza mezzi termini che affidare uno smartphone e dare accesso ai social network prima dei 13 anni ha delle conseguenze pesantissime sullo sviluppo mentale, con distacco dalla realtà, crollo dell'autostima e incapacità di gestire le emozioni. Di questo passo, avvisano i ricercatori, un terzo dei giovani sarà afflitto da disagi mentali gravi. I rimedi ci sono, e ne vengono proposti quattro tipi. Se vi servono dati per discutere concretamente del problema, questa ricerca condotta du oltre due milioni di individui distribuiti in 163 paesi e su 18 lingue può essere un punto di partenza prezioso.“Protecting the Developing Mind in a Digital Age: A Global Policy Imperative”, ”Tara C.

250901PC Tödliches Chat GPTMensch Mahler am 01.09.2025Eltern eines US-Teenagers, der im April Suizid beging, klagen gegen die ChatGPT-Entwicklerfirma OpenAI. Ihr Vorwurf ist, dass ChatGPT ihren Sohn dabei unterstützt habe, sich das Leben zu nehmen. Die Eltern stützen sich dabei auf Unterhaltungen mit dem Chatbot, die sie auf dem Smartphone des 16-Jährigen fanden. OpenAI kündigte nach Bekanntwerden der Klage verbesserte Maßnahmen zur Suizid-Prävention an.Die Firma räumte zugleich ein, dass die bisherigen Vorkehrungen, die unter anderem Nutzer zu einer Beratungs-Hotline verwiesen, bei längeren Unterhaltungen mit ChatGPT versagen können. Dann sei es möglich, dass die Software unerwünschte Antworten liefere. Man arbeite daran, dass die Schutzmaßnahmen auch bei längeren Unterhaltungen greifen, hieß es in einem Blogeintrag. Zudem werde erwogen, dass ChatGPT in Krisensituationen versuchen könnte, Kontakt zu von Nutzern eingetragenen Personen aufzunehmen.Für Nutzer im Alter unter 18 Jahren soll es zusätzliche Sicherheitsmaßnahmen geben. OpenAI stellte etwa „stärkere Leitplanken bei sensiblen Inhalten und riskantem Verhalten“ in Aussicht. Eltern sollen sich besser darüber informieren können, wie ihre Kinder ChatGPT nutzen.Bei Unterhaltungen mit ChatGPT, in denen Nutzer die Absicht bekunden, anderen zu schaden, greift OpenAI dem Blogeintrag zufolge bereits jetzt ein. Solche Unterhaltungen würden an ein spezielles Team weitergeleitet - und bei einer konkreten Bedrohungs-Situation würden auch Sicherheitsbehörden eingeschaltet.Der Familie des Teenagers drückte OpenAI „tiefste Sympathie“ aus und teilte mit, man prüfe die Klage.

Each one I find reminds me of a small, battered transistor radio from my youth. It belonged to my father, and before that, probably my grandfather. The leather case was cracked, the antenna wobbled, and the dial drifted if you breathed on it wrong. But when I was sixteen, sprawled across my bedroom floor in that small town near Florence with homework scattered around me, this little machine was my portal to everything that mattered.Late at night, I'd start by chasing the latest hits and local shows on FM, but then I'd venture into the real adventure—tuning through the static on AM and shortwave frequencies. Voices would emerge from the electromagnetic soup—music from London, news from distant capitals, conversations in languages I couldn't understand but somehow felt. That radio gave me something I didn't even know I was missing: the profound sense of belonging to a world much bigger than my neighborhood, bigger than my small corner of Tuscany.What I didn't realize then—what I'm only now beginning to understand—is that I was holding the first smartphone in human history.Not literally, of course. But functionally? Sociologically? That transistor radio was the prototype for everything that followed: the first truly personal media device that rewired how young people related to the world, to each other, and to the adults trying to control both.But to understand why the transistor radio was so revolutionary, we need to trace radio's remarkable journey through the landscape of human communication—a journey that reveals patterns we're still living through today.When Radio Was the Family HearthBefore my little portable companion, radio was something entirely different. In the 1930s, radio was furniture—massive, wooden, commanding the living room like a shrine to shared experience. Families spent more than four hours a day listening together, with radio ownership reaching nearly 90 percent by 1940. From American theaters that wouldn't open until after "Amos 'n Andy" to British families gathered around their wireless sets, from RAI broadcasts bringing opera into Tuscan homes—entire communities synchronized their lives around these electromagnetic rituals.Radio didn't emerge in a media vacuum, though. It had to find its place alongside the dominant information medium of the era: newspapers. The relationship began as an unlikely alliance. In the early 1920s, newspapers weren't threatened by radio—they were actually radio's primary boosters, creating tie-ins with broadcasts and even owning stations. Detroit's WWJ was owned by The Detroit News, initially seen as "simply another press-supported community service."But then came the "Press-Radio War" of 1933-1935, one of the first great media conflicts of the modern age. Newspapers objected when radio began interrupting programs with breaking news, arguing that instant news delivery would diminish paper sales. The 1933 Biltmore Agreement tried to restrict radio to just two five-minute newscasts daily—an early attempt at what we might now recognize as media platform regulation.Sound familiar? The same tensions we see today between traditional media and digital platforms, between established gatekeepers and disruptive technologies, were playing out nearly a century ago. Rather than one medium destroying the other, they found ways to coexist and evolve—a pattern that would repeat again and again.By the mid-1950s, when the transistor was perfected, radio was ready for its next transformation.The Real Revolution Was Social, Not TechnicalThis is where my story begins, but it's also where radio's story reaches its most profound transformation. The transistor radio didn't just make radio portable—it fundamentally altered the social dynamics of media consumption and youth culture itself.Remember, radio had spent its first three decades as a communal experience. Parents controlled what the family heard and when. But transistor radios shattered this control structure completely, arriving at precisely the right cultural moment. The post-WWII baby boom had created an unprecedented youth population with disposable income, and rock and roll was exploding into mainstream culture—music that adults often disapproved of, music that spoke directly to teenage rebellion and independence.For the first time in human history, young people had private, personal access to media. They could take their music to bedrooms, to beaches, anywhere adults weren't monitoring. They could tune into stations playing Chuck Berry, Elvis, and Little Richard without parental oversight—and in many parts of Europe, they could discover the rebellious thrill of pirate radio stations broadcasting rock and roll from ships anchored just outside territorial waters, defying government regulations and cultural gatekeepers alike. The transistor radio became the soundtrack of teenage autonomy, the device that let youth culture define itself on its own terms.The timing created a perfect storm: pocket-sized technology collided with a new musical rebellion, creating the first "personal media bubble" in human history—and the first generation to grow up with truly private access to the cultural forces shaping their identity.The parallels to today's smartphone revolution are impossible to ignore. Both devices delivered the same fundamental promise: the ability to carry your entire media universe with you, to access information and entertainment on your terms, to connect with communities beyond your immediate physical environment.But there's something we've lost in translation from analog to digital. My generation with transistor radios had to work for connection. We had to hunt through static, tune carefully, wait patiently for distant signals to emerge from electromagnetic chaos. We learned to listen—really listen—because finding something worthwhile required skill, patience, and analog intuition.This wasn't inconvenience; it was meaning-making. The harder you worked to find something, the more it mattered when you found it. The more skilled you became at navigating radio's complex landscape, the richer your discoveries became.What the Transistor Radio Taught Us About TomorrowRadio's evolution illustrates a crucial principle that applies directly to our current digital transformation: technologies don't replace each other—they find new ways to matter. Printing presses didn't become obsolete when radio arrived. Radio adapted when television emerged. Today, radio lives on in podcasts, streaming services, internet radio—the format transformed, but the essential human need it serves persists.When I was sixteen, lying on that bedroom floor with my father's radio pressed to my ear, I was doing exactly what teenagers do today with their smartphones: using technology to construct identity, to explore possibilities, to imagine myself into larger narratives.The medium has changed; the human impulse remains constant. The transistor radio taught me that technology's real power isn't in its specifications or capabilities—it's in how it reshapes the fundamental social relationships that define our lives.Every device that promises connection is really promising transformation: not just of how we communicate, but of who we become through that communication. The transistor radio was revolutionary not because it was smaller or more efficient than tube radios, but because it created new forms of human agency and autonomy.Perhaps that's the most important lesson for our current moment of digital transformation. As we worry about AI replacing human creativity, social media destroying real connection, or smartphones making us antisocial, radio's history suggests a different possibility: technologies tend to find their proper place in the ecosystem of human needs, augmenting rather than replacing what came before.As Marshall McLuhan understood, "the medium is the message"—to truly understand what's happening to us in this digital age, we need to understand the media themselves, not just the content they carry. And that's exactly the message I'll keep exploring in future newsletters—going deeper into how we can understand the media to understand the messages, and what that means for our hybrid analog-digital future.The frequency is still there, waiting. You just have to know how to tune in.__________ End of transmission.

It's become the new orthodoxy: social media is the cause of the epidemic of anxiety amongst adolescents. So the way to fix this is by taking away their smartphones. But according to Pulitzer prize-winning New York Times writer Matt Richtel, things are actually a lot more complicated than blaming everything on digital technology. In fact, we may have got things a bit upside down. In his new book, How We Grow Up, Richtel argues that parents have, ironically, become what he calls "the social media" in their kids' lives. Smartphones enable parents to constantly observe not just their kids' movements but even their thoughts through constant surveillance of grades, texts, and location data. We are, indeed, creating a "surveillance state with our children," he warns - which could be one explanation (amongst many) why today's teens engage in significantly less risky behavior than previous generations. Understanding adolescents might actually require grown-ups to face up to their own parental anxieties. "Love, lead, let go," is Richtel's general advice for parents navigating our brave new world. Adolescence was invented in 1904, he notes, to help young people adapt to the economic complexity of the industrial age. A century later, we all risk becoming adolescents as we struggle to process the rapid change and information overload of our digital age. Everybody needs to learn to grow up. 1. Adolescence is a modern economic invention. Before 1904, there was no period between puberty and adulthood. People hit puberty, entered the workforce, married, and had children quickly. Adolescence emerged because complex economies required time to prepare young people for participation in sophisticated society.2. Parents have become "the original social media." When parents constantly share anxiety at dinner tables about college admissions, economic doom, and life's difficulties, they're flooding their children with the same kind of overwhelming information they criticize social media for providing.3. Technology has created involuntary parental surveillance. Modern tools allow parents to monitor grades, locations, and activities constantly. Richtel argues parents feel "irresponsible" if they don't use these capabilities, creating a surveillance dynamic that previous generations couldn't maintain even if they wanted to.4. Today's teens are actually less risky than previous generations. Contrary to crisis narratives, current adolescents drink less, have less sex, smoke less, and engage in fewer dangerous behaviors than teens in the 1980s and 90s. The anxiety epidemic coincides with decreased risk-taking, not increased recklessness.5. Simply removing phones won't solve the underlying issues. The research on social media's effects is mixed - some users become happier, others more anxious. The real problem may be that attention-grabbing technologies displace activities known to help brain development: sleep, exercise, and in-person community interaction.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Free time, one of life’s most important commodities, often feels unfulfilling. But why? And how did leisure activities transition from strolling in the park for hours to “doomscrolling” on social media for thirty minutes? Despite the promise of modern industrialization, many people experience both a scarcity of free time and a disappointment in it. Here to explain why this is today’s guest Gary Cross, author of “Free Time: The History of an Elusive Ideal.” We discuss a broad historical explanation of why our affluent society does not afford more time away from work and why that time is often unsatisfying. We begin with a survey of the past 250 years to understand the roots of our conception of free time and its use. By the end of the nineteenth century, a common expectation was that industrial innovations would lead to a progressive reduction of work time and a subsequent rise in free time devoted to self-development and social engagement. However, despite significant changes in the early twentieth century, both goals were frustrated, thus leading to the contemporary dilemma. Cross touches on leisure of all kinds, from peasant festivals and aristocratic pleasure gardens to amusement parks, movie theaters and organized sports to internet surfing, and even the use of alcohol and drugs. This wide-ranging cultural and social history explores the industrial-era origins of our modern obsession with work and productivity, but also the historical efforts to liberate time from work and cultivate free time for culture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this radically honest and thought-provoking episode, Andrew Laubacher (aka ALob) returns to share the life-altering decision that changed everything: stepping away from the platforms designed to keep us addicted and unhappy. From addiction and burnout to healing and purpose, Andrew opens up about the crushing weight of social comparison, the lies of digital liberation, the trappings of pornography, and how seven days without a mirror in the woods revealed more about his worth than seven years online ever could. Now the executive director of Humanality, Andrew is leading a global movement to restore our humanity. Humanality offers tools, courses, and community for those ready to live differently. Together with host Ginny Yurich, they unpack what it means to opt out. If you've ever felt your soul is slowly being scrolled away, this conversation is a wake-up call and a way forward.

Jugendliche sind immer unglücklicher und leiden häufig an psychischen Problemen. Ein Hauptverdächtiger: das Smartphone. «Puls» geht der Frage nach, welche Rezepte helfen, damit Kinder in der digitalisierten Welt gesund und glücklich aufwachsen können. Smartphone-freie Kindheit – Geht das heute noch? Ein Berner Elternpaar ist überzeugt: Smartphones rauben den Kindern die Jugend. Ihr 14-jähriger Sohn Samuel soll deshalb ganz ohne Handy aufwachsen. Für den Teenager ist das nicht immer einfach, denn der soziale Druck, an der Gesellschaft digital teilzunehmen, ist gross – auch für die Eltern. Wie praktikabel und zielführend ist das Prinzip Abstinenz? Nutzung nach Belieben – Wie viel Eigenverantwortung macht Sinn? Früh übt sich, wer für die digitale Welt gewappnet sein will: Mario hat seit der 5. Klasse ein Handy, dessen Nutzung von der Mutter kaum eingeschränkt wird. Besonders viel Zeit verbringt der 14-Jährige beim Gamen. Eine Leidenschaft, die mit einem Programmier-Kurs für Games sogar noch gefördert wird. Wie viel Digitalisierung ist für Teenager gesund, wie viel Eigenverantwortung sinnvoll? Glückskiller Smartphone? – Das sagt die Wissenschaft Die Anzahl Jugendlicher mit psychischen Problemen steigt laufend an. Viele machen Smartphones und sozialen Medien mitverantwortlich für diese Entwicklung. Wie gross ist dieser Einfluss wirklich? Forschende kommen zu unterschiedlichen Schlüssen. Handyverbot an Schulen – Ziele erreicht? Das Elite-Internat Lyceum Alpinum in Zuoz GR hat sich für ein rigides Handyverbot entschieden. Bis in die 9. Klasse dürfen Schülerinnen und Schüler das Gerät nur zwei Stunden am Tag nutzen. Was hat das strenge Durchgreifen gebracht? Das Internat zieht ein erstes Fazit. «Puls»-Chat zum Thema «Problematischer Smartphone-Konsum» Wie viel Bildschirmzeit ist unbedenklich? Welche Zeichen weisen auf eine Handysucht hin? Wie kommt man aus dem ständigen Familien-Zoff um die Smartphone-Nutzung wieder heraus? Die Fachrunde weiss am Montag von 21.00 bis 23.00 Uhr Rat – live im Chat. Fragen können vorab eingereicht werden. «Puls kompakt» – Gute Tipps für die Generation Bildschirm Fünf 19- und 20-jährige Thunerinnen sorgen sich um das Wohlbefinden ihrer Generation. Als Maturarbeit haben sie deshalb das Start-up «Safescrolling» gegründet, bieten Kurse für Schulen und Eltern zum verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Smartphones an und haben für «Puls» gute Tipps für die Generation Bildschirm zusammengestellt.

On this episode we sat down with Zach Rausch, the chief researcher at the Tech and Society Lab at NYU, and the lead researcher for “The Anxious Generation,” by Jonathan Haidt, which was published last year. The core thesis of the book is that we've been overprotecting children in the real world and underprotecting them in the online world. The book points to data about Gen Z, the generation born from the mid-'90s to about 2010 showing significant increases in anxiety, depression and suicide. The book goes further and makes the case that it is the combination of the smartphone and social media apps that are the root of the problem.We recorded this interview on the sidelines of NCSL's Legislative Summit in Boston where he appeared on a panel with other experts discussing young people, social media and public policy.ResourcesAfter Babel SubstackSocial Media and Children, 2025 Legislation, NCSLZach Rausch website

Smartphones. It seems like they're always in our hands - and always making it hard to be fully present with our friends and family. And maybe that's why prayer is hard for us. How do you spend time with an invisible being that you can't see with your eyes? In this message, Max Vanderpool makes a case for why there is another kind of prayer - one where you aren't talking and God's not talking - and that's okay.

AppleInsider spotted the latest bizarre wrinkle to this story, which is that the actual phone still does not exist. The publication noticed that promotional images for T1 all show different smartphones that appear to be tweaked in a photo editor to look gold. While the website shows a badly edited image of what appears to be a Revvl 7 Pro 5G phone, an Instagram ad seems to depict an iPhone 16 Pro Max, again with the company's branding overlaid. A third confusing image edit was posted on X earlier this week. That photo shows a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra equipped with a case made by Spigen. The South Korean accessory company's logo can be seen behind the render of an American flag. In other news, Germany-based search engine and browser nonprofit Ecosia is the latest party to make an offer for Google's Chrome. Questions about Chrome's fate have been swirling since the news that the Department of Justice would push for Google to sell the browser after the ruling that the company's search engine business constituted a monopoly. And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration just announced an investigation into Tesla regarding its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems. That's according to a report by Electrek. The road safety regulator says the probe involves inconsistencies with how the company reports crashes regarding the aforementioned systems. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave discovers he may have a case of smartphone pinky. 

Late last year, the Pew Research Center conducted a survey of almost fourteen hundred teens, ages thirteen to seventeen, to come to an understanding of our teenagers' experiences and attitudes around social media and their mental health. One of the most interesting findings is one that really isn't that surprising, especially if you've been tracking with the data on how digital devices are interrupting our kids sleep patterns. Forty five percent of the kids surveyed said that social media sites hurt the amount of sleep they get. Only four percent of kids say social media sites help their sleep, while thirty two percent are neutral. As you've heard us say here many times before, God made us for a rhythm of work and rest, and our kids need over nine hours of uninterrupted sleep each night for healthy growth and development. Parents, one of the first and most helpful parenting steps you can take is to get the phones out of their rooms. Doing this will contribute to their health and flourishing.

Episode 208: For years, experts and parents alike have debated how to get children off their devices. Limiting screen time, blocking apps and setting stricter household rules are common strategies. But what if the problem isn’t the technology itself but the loss of freedom to simply be a kid? Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada look at a revealing report from The Atlantic that asked children directly how they would spend less time online. The most common response was not more rules or stricter discipline — it was more unstructured play with friends, free from constant supervision. The answers highlight a cultural shift. Over the past several decades, the independence once common for children — riding bikes across town, walking to the corner store or wandering through a local park — has steadily disappeared. Parents often cite safety concerns, and social norms reinforce the idea that letting kids roam is risky. Yet statistics show that many communities are actually safer today than in past generations. The episode raises an uncomfortable possibility: children are not “addicted” to screens so much as they are starved for spaces where they can make choices and explore without adults hovering nearby. Smartphones, for all their flaws, offer at least the perception of autonomy. They allow young people to connect, interact and discover on their own terms — even if those experiences are shaped by algorithms.

Got bad phone habits? We know being on our phones too much isn't good for us, especially for kids. Yet we all keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.
