And also, you know, we're seeing this in the increase in people using their mobile phones in cinemas.
We're seeing this on the telly when we're watching TV shows.
Like you're seeing TV shows come up with hashtags before and after the ad breaks.
You're seeing people being encouraged to interact with the hashtags.
I mean, even obviously we're talking today and we want to encourage people to discuss the topic, but that will be discussed on social media as well.
Social media is pervasive and invasive in our everyday life.
And it's something that we have to learn to live with.
But how do we learn to live that with it in a healthy manner?
I'm really reminded, I was actually talking to my own teenagers about it this morning, and I'm really reminded of, does anybody remember the movie WALL-E?
where the two robots and it's all to do with overconsumption and it's all to do with what happens to a planet when it becomes overconsumed and what happens to the people when they consume too much digital media.
And actually what happened in that movie, I know it's a cartoon, but the people were basically rolling around in cars and wheelchairs, watching the videos all day long and not interacting with the environment.
And when they put those away, their life improved.
So interestingly, and obviously they're not using TikTok or Instagram or any of these short form video apps outside or inside of school hours.
So it's all happening outside.
But for some of those young people who have circumvented the age limits, they're using it, you know, between 10 p.m.
and 5 a.m.
in the morning.
So you can only imagine what their sleep is like, what their mental health is like.
And I would say from an informed perspective,
As a youth volunteer and also from a mum of teenagers, if you don't have those limits set in place for teenagers, that is absolutely going to be the case.
