Good Idea: Mindful Social Media Use
https://news.ki.se/using-social-media-may-impair-childrens-attention
A large study from Karolinska Institutet found that children who spend more time on social media are more likely to develop attention problems, while watching TV or playing video games did not show the same effect. The link between social media use and inattention was not explained by socioeconomic or genetic factors, and did not go the other way around. While the impact on individuals is small, the effect could be significant across the population, prompting calls for age limits and better platform design to support children's cognitive health.
