Episode 4 - Are Smartphones the New Cigarettes?
Solving the World's Greatest ProblemsGuests: Andy Crouch, Amy Crouch, Jonathan Haidt, Tristan Harris
Adults spend an average of 4.5 hours on their smartphones every day.
The scale of our addiction to technology is only getting worse. In our lives and the lives of our children, smart devices suffocate us. We struggle to turn away and turn them off.
What can we do to solve technology addiction?
It’s not about looking the other way. Technology will always be with us. Christians can shape it in a redemptive direction while also keeping it in its proper place.
Discussion Questions:
- How do you see parallels between historical cigarette marketing and current technology marketing? What lessons can we learn from this comparison?
- The episode mentions creating "rules where there is misery." What areas of your digital life might benefit from clearer boundaries?
- How can families implement technology boundaries without creating resentment or resistance from children?
