Has smart tech and the social media it drives harmed a generation dependent on these tools to perform most functions? A new addiction impacting youth socialization, cognitive development and even mental health is chronicled in a new documentary that’s starting the conversation with parents, educators and lawmakers across New York State and throughout the country. As policymakers look to respond, can we institute moderation and parameters or has the technology taken hold and it’s too late?
