Breaking the Screen Spell: Preserving Childhood in the Age of Tech-Driven Advertising

Whilst some of the tech our kids use is incredibly useful, the majority is a direct route from advertisers to their brains. So how is advertising & tech targeting our kids, what impact is it having on them & how can we protect them? My guest today is Dr Susan Linn. She’s a psychologist & the Author of Who’s Raising the Kids? Big Tech, Big Business & The Lives of Children. Susan explains how tech is training kids to be consumers, dampening their creativity plus how it's fueling commercialism and affecting democracy.
