They give us practices, rituals to meet those emotion regulatory goals that we have as well. So that's another kind of influence that I don't think we often think about, but that is really quite powerful.

Remarkable. It's science fiction. If we were to turn back the clock to when we were kids to think about what we have in our pockets right now or on our wrists or some people, the glasses that they are wearing, we probably wouldn't have believed that this was possible when we were kids.

Yeah, this is a question that comes up quite a bit, and it's a really hard one to answer because we haven't, of course, been tracking people's chatter and emotion dysregulation levels over the centuries. I think it's absolutely true that we now have new forms of technology that

are perennially now presenting us with challenges that we need to figure out how to overcome, but they are also providing us with opportunities. So to be clear, I think social media and technology can and does do a lot of harm. And I think it can and does do a lot of good for us as well.

And the real challenge we face right now is figuring out how to navigate those digital technological landscapes. And I think we probably jumped into them without a user guide too quickly. And we're only learning now, 15 years later, or whatever the number is, that that was the case. But I don't know that I would... Well, I'll speak for myself.

I think net positive, there's a lot of good that has come from these technologies. If we think back centuries ago... It's not clear to me that the world wasn't a challenging place either.

I mean, you know, we used to get into fights and pull swords and there is huge, you know, people would invade readily if you go back further and there was the threat of illness and, you know, we weren't living nearly as long. And so I think it's easy to also forget just how far we have come as a species because
