A discussion on the general scientific consensus that screen addiction is a real thing correlating to attention disorders, narcissistic tendencies, and what one of our guests calls "the infantilization of the brain." Still, there seems to be no sign that many of us are willing to give up the digital world, regardless of science. So where does that leave businesses, schools, and other institutions that require people who can concentrate, work in teams, and resist immediate gratification? Join us as we discuss this question and others with a well-known neuroscientist and a local business owner who both have paid considerable attention to how the digital world impacts us all.
