  • In the 2000s and early 2010s, less of your life was lived on a cell phone or smartphone.

    For kids now, it’s 100% of their lives. Post-COVID, the majority of social interaction between peers is through a social media app.

    That means that close to 100% of kids are on their phones during the school day. If you aren’t, you run the risk of social isolation and FOMO.

    Administrators can’t send a kid to detention for using their phone because ALL kids would be in detention every day.

    But also Reaganomics, stagflation, the dot com boom, 9/11.
