Summary | Many young children already have smartphones. It is problematic if youths spend too much time on new media - they don't learn how to interact face-to-face so that they whip out the phone even if they are hanging out with a friend. They increasingly write in abbreviations which makes them do badly in school. Parents are part of the problem, because they demand that their children be available on the smartphone at all times. It is important to give children positive offline experiences.

Wieder bei Stimme

Topic Tags | emojis, sexting
Summary | The human voice has become quite disenfranchised in this age where most communication happens in writing and emojis serve for emotional cues. Many people feel uncomfortable talking on the phone because it seems weird because we are no longer used to it. A new dating app called whispar encourages users to use their voice and enables them to upload voice recordings because they carry a lot of sexual/romantic force.
