This article: the Special Issue The Mental Health & Well-Being of Children & Adolescents in the #DigitalAge

Moore's Law held for over 40 years. The number of transistors in a processor multiplied 10 million times between 1971 and 2015.

But has that rate of change felt real to you day to day? Or has it crept up quietly in the background?

I've been thinking about this while writing my new series on why technology is outpacing society. First post: [link]

The article examines how spending time alone affects adolescent loneliness, showing that more time alone does not automatically mean greater overall loneliness, and that the quality of social interactions and personality traits shape daily feelings of isolation. It emphasizes real-time data collection to capture moment-to-moment fluctuations in loneliness across different social contexts.

This topic is relevant to psychology because it highlights the dynamic interplay between social environment, personality factors, and well-being during a critical developmental period, illustrating how subjective experiences of loneliness can diverge from objective measures of social contact.

Between 1971 and 2015, the number of transistors in a computer processor multiplied 10 million times.

That's what exponential technology looks like. And it's just one example from the first post in my new series on why technology is outpacing society.

New series starting tomorrow: Why Technology Is Outpacing Society.

In five posts I want to explore how exponential technology is reshaping our world and what society is struggling to keep up with.

First up: what is the exponential age and what forces are driving it? It's more interesting than the name suggests.
