Book: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing An Epidemic of Mental Illness - Lemmy.World

Just came across this article [https://www.wsj.com/articles/can-we-save-our-children-from-smartphones-03eaf449?st=k1u42llqbj9jr4e] about a book titled: > The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing An Epidemic of Mental Illness I haven’t read it, but I’m a little concerned that the article has zero mention of the built environment. Thoughts?

Does it mention what transitioned the Millenials into phones? The Game Boy. And before that, the television. However television is much more passive than gaming, the video games came first then social media and mobile phones gamified real-life simulation.
