In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we explore the growing impact of smartphones, social media, and digital culture on our mental health, attention, and relationships. Joined by Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr, researcher, professor, and author of Smartphone Nation, we unpack how platforms and algorithms are designed to keep us hooked, what that means for children and teens, and how we can build healthier relationships with technology in an increasingly digital world.
Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode:
•The Biggest Harms of Social Media
•Why Social Media Is Designed to Be Addictive
