Everyday Neuro 023 Part 2: Social Connection - The Impact of Digital Media on Our Thinking and Wellbeing

In Part 2 of this episode, I talk about the effects of digital media on younger people and how bans on social media use may be more harmful than beneficial. This notion is explored further with expert Dr Milovan Savic who discusses the relationship between digital media and loneliness, social connection, and his evidence based research about empowering younger people to make informed choices about social media use.  This is Part 2 of a 2 part episode.
