Scrolling 2 Death

The Corporate Takeover of Childhood (with Dr. Susan Linn)

Jun 20, 2024

In this conversation, Susan Linn discusses the harmful effects of marketing to children and the overuse of technology in their lives. She emphasizes the importance of unstructured play and creativity; stressing that kids can amuse and soothe themselves without needing a device.



We also dive into the current state of EdTech in schools, highlighting the lack of research supporting its effectiveness.


Don't miss the story of Dr. Linn's career and as a ventriloquist at the end of the episode!


I highly recommend Dr. Susan Linn's book 'Who's Raising the Kids' available here.
