I watched this really cool interview recently, the guy was a psychologist and put forward his theories and research suggesting that social media is reponsible for the rising suicide/mental ilness and depression rates, developers of social media know this and they develop it the way that they do on purpose to make it as addicting as possible, to make it necessary for all young people who do not even live in our world, but in the world of social media.
You see this a fair bit I think, people don't really get too involved with their family face to face, other than immediate family and holiday events really. I'm not sure if I believe everything that he says, because his perspective is very much from a place of social media is evil, which is still true to a point. But I do think that I would at the very least limit gaming usage and social media and all this stuff to a certain extent. I do not want to exclude them from things that their peers are a part of, for the danger of social isolation, but limit their time on it to such an extent that they cannot become addicted and "rely" on these things.
