As her mom holds up different, to me, indistinguishable pieces of fabric, We know, from the view we've just had into the phone, what's on Sydney's mind. An infinite scroll of these impossibly fit women wearing architectural outfits that flatter them perfectly. Sydney's mom does not know entirely what she's up against here. She, unlike us, cannot see into her daughter's phone.

So she isn't imagining, like we are, these women from the internet invisibly filling up the room. She tries her best.

On this show, sometimes we chase down usually little questions, questions that can be answered with a phone call or five, maybe some research. But the real questions that haunt me, actual me, in my own life, don't tend to be resolvable. They're not quests you get to go on. They're places you just have to live for a while. I grew up on the internet. I grew up on my phone.

I've had all sorts of thoughts and feelings about what I got from that and what I lost. But now I'm helping to raise kids, and I'm seeing them on their phones, on their internet, and I'm not sure what to make of it. There's been a big roiling debate nationally about this. One of the biggest best-selling books for the past year has been The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt.

He believes that the high rates of anxiety and depression in this generation of teenagers might be caused by smartphones and social media. I, like I think most people, am more convinced that something is going on than I am convinced that I know exactly what that something is or what the right thing to do about it might be, which is why I found myself watching this documentary experiment.

And it was strange. I don't think I've ever watched someone else's internet for very long, heard their algorithms' whispers, the people it wanted them to envy, the products it wanted them to buy. Someone can tell you, for instance, that the internet makes some teenage girls feel bad about how they look, and you'll nod, imagining you think you know what that means.

It's an entirely different experience to be sat in front of a teenage girl's internet, thrown into her phone, forced to see things from her perspective for many hours. I had to talk to the filmmaker who told this off.
