Here are two headlines from the New York Times in the year 1999:
August 4, 1999, p. 1A;
Pediatricians Urge Limiting TV Watching: Say Influence of Media Is Public Health Issue.
Dec. 6, 1999, p. C18:
Where Is Today’s Child? Probably Watching TV.
Today we’d substitute phones for TV in those headlines. The problem would be the same, except in 2025 kids are spending more time on their phones than kids were spending in front of the TV in 1999.
The kids born between 1981 and 1996 are “millennials.” They were the ones watching all that TV, and they turned out OK. Didn’t they?
I think you can substitute "people" for "kids"!
