Is there a dangerous downside to growing up with smart phones and social media? Today’s teens are glued to their phones and virtually connected to each other like never before. And yet the rates of teen depression and loneliness are skyrocketing.

Join me tonight at 7pm on City Visions to discuss whether smartphones are destroying a generation of kids. My guests include:

• Sue Porter, PhD, Dean of Students at The Bay School of San Francisco
• Jean Twenge, PhD, Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University and author of iGen: Why Today’s Super Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy – and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood.
• Colby Zintl, Vice President of External Affairs at Common Sense

Listeners in the San Francisco Bay Area can tune in at 91.7 FM, or you can stream it on-line. Please call or email with your questions in the meantime or during the live show. Hope you can tune in!
