Yep, this is it, this is the anxiety and the important part. "We are losing conversation" though is not accurate.https://twitter.com/nathanjurgenson/status/649594574332104704 …

I think there's also major shifts (and well-founded anxiety and unease) around work and connectivity but easier to pin blame on device.

Feels like "eat superfoods!" analysis (also popular) rather than, say, suburbs, driving, office work, walking, food ecology etc. for health.

Of course, this drives data-driven researchers nuts (you should see my Facebook feed!

) but broader topic is real, even if self-help not.3 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -

Focus only on devices is "oh, just walk more & eat better" approach to health. Can't ignore economy & structure. Well, unless you're rich.

It's true richer people have childcare without screens or use tablets WITH kids. Poor kids get parked in front of screen. Staff costs money.

BTW there is a device problem but that's because conversation is hard. Past=use books, newspapers. In Turkey TV blares in living rooms.

@jasonkincaid Well, yes and worth looking at what's on the device but I don't know of anything more isolating than a book. Wonderfully so.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes
@jasonkincaid Much device use is intensely social. Teens talking to each other ignoring adults. Parents hate this but alas, human condition.
