The Fallacy of Blaming Technology for Youth Issues
Blaming technology for youth issues is a fallacy. The idea that phones are the root cause of problems like depression and anxiety among young people is incorrect. The real issues lie in economic conditions and the challenges of growing up in a time of economic instability. Quarantining children from technology is not the solution, as seen with the mistaken approaches towards both a viral threat and social issues. Technology is not the core problem, and removing young people's access to it will not address the underlying causes of their struggles.
