DEEP DIVE: Are boomers more addicted to their phones than gen Z?
Often when you hear people talk about screen time, the focus is on young people. The Australian government has even banned kids from being on social media before they turn 16. But is Gen Z really the problem? Or are older generations spending more time staring at their phones (and tablets and TVs)? On the deep dive today, we ask young Aussies about screen time, disconnecting and talking to their parents about tech. Also, you'll hear from an expert who outlines which generation spends the most time on their phones, and what it's doing to their brains.
