Should Big Tech be held responsible for screen time? | Gaia Bernstein | TEDxReno

[celesteroseberry]

Oh thank you so much!! As a career speech-language pathologist, I literally lie awake at night over what is happening to our children and young people. Brilliant message that everyone should see!

[subscriptionsrelis]

Thank you Gaia for this important contribution to the public's knowledge. This is HUGE and must be part of a concerted legal battle against tech corporations who have been ruthlessly and deliberately addicting humanity and particularly our precious children & youth. Wasting much of their days on mindless content effectively takes from them the chance to reach their maximum potential in life. Thank you Gaia for your analysis, your insight and your leadership!

Gaia, the best and most eye-opening information I have heard about the effects on our children with the overuse of tech. I will share this with others and will look for ways to join your voice for change. Thank you so much. 👏

Ms. Bernstein's program is clear and doable. Every parent should watch and hear her message. Move from guilt to anger, and anger to action, let's create a better world together.

Gaia, I so appreciated meeting you in person and seeing your talk live. You are addressing a very important issue that impacts how we relate to one another and also how we achieve belonging, connection, and mental wellness.

This Tedx Talk is eye-opening and crucial for every parent in the digital age. Gaia's insights into the impact of technology on our children's mental health are both alarming and motivating, but what I most appreciate is how Professor Bernstein highlights the need for legislative change and parental awareness to protect the well-being of children and youth! A wise counsel indeed.

This is so great, Gaia. So clear, so right. "Instead of guilty, you should be angry" should be our mantra!

[naomi]

YES! Kids first indeed. Hooray for this incredibly thoughtful talk about the tech industry and children - and the rest of us. GETTING YOUR BOOK!

[marinaromashko]

I see a lot of parents draining and guilt and not knowing what to do with kids, it is such important topic and I hope we all will do something about changing the laws.

[badkarma]

Damn she really nails it around the 4:40 mark. Literally got chills from that line.

[franciscomahfuz]

This is such an important subject, Gaia. As a parent this is something dear to my heart, thanks for talking about it so powerfully!!

[CatherineSalerno]

This is so important! What a great talk, I’m so glad you have advocated so hard for this issue and it is finally now being recognized by the government.

[jedemiahs]

Powerful and critically important. Everyone needs to hear this talk!

[MichalBuchhandler-Raphael]

Thank you, Gaia, for a compelling talk, and for highlighting the responsibility of the tech industry for our children's technology addiction.

[KayaStanley]

Thank you for bringing this to light Gaia. You completely shifted my perspective on this problem and how it will be fixed. You nailed it when you said this is like battling the tobacco companies back in the day.

[be-present-now]

This is so important for people to be hearing, will be sharing immediately!

[BrianMiller-kttq]

"Instead of guilty, you should be angry." That hit me so hard as a parent with a toddler, already struggling to find the right balance with technology in his life. Thank you Gaia!

[AliceHeiman]

Such an important topic. I admire Gaia for taking on this challenge. She is fighting hard to change the laws and hold the tech companies responsible. The statistics are staggering. Please share this and get the word out to parents and anyone who can help make a difference.

[solangelmaldonado]

This was so powerful! Thank you for raising awareness of where responsibility lies.

[TheBuzzRepublicIsHere]

Oh what she said about attending school performances and everyone trying to take pictures of their kids really got to me. I've not had that happen yet (my kids aren't school age yet) but I just know when it does I'm going to be annoyed lol
