Reclaim Kids from Tech

• NOTE: This discussion speaks about various violent crimes. Parental discretion is advised for children.
• Dr. Lisa Strohman is a clinical psychologist, attorney, and author.
• Distractions have increased, especially as cell phone cameras have improved. (3:00)
  • In addition, social media is a major challenge.
  • At the same time, most people don’t understand how AI actually works. (17:30)
    • This raises an important question: What are we giving up for convenience?
    • Critical thinking skills are being diminished.
  • Writing by hand activates the brain’s neural pathways; in contrast, AI encourages a more passive state of the brain. 
• Dr. Strohman researched the Columbine tragedy in 1999. (34:00)
• Concerning trends show signs of increased narcissism, reduced empathy, and lower levels of oxytocin (a key bonding chemical). (36:00)
  • As a result, many kids raised on tech and social media place less value on other humans, and certain apps make this worse.
• News spreads instantly, and memories of current events fade quickly as the next story replaces them. (47:00)
• Negative interactions are increasing; let’s refocus on teaching how to be good humans.
• Society leans heavily on tech because it’s easy; however, that’s not necessarily a good thing. (1:05:00)

Remaining Vigilant

• Safety settings on social media and other platforms are largely an illusion. (1:08:00)
• Dr. Strohman’s team participated in a product liability case against Meta, involving the grooming of minors. (1:10:00)
  • Pornography changes the brain in a harmful way.
  • Another key point is that ads are deliberately targeted at children as young as 8, unless parents are extremely vigilant about filtering.
• Other high-profile violent cases are discussed. Again, parental discretion is strongly advised. (1:18:00)
• Dr. Strohman is working to restore control to the parents. “Harmless tech” is not harmless.
• Dr. Lisa Strohman’s website is https://drlisastrohman.com/     and  https://ASKLISA.COM
