Kids are currently suffering from an epidemic, but it's not Covid. They travel around with bright screens. Dominic Matthew, an addiction specialist and author of Glow Kids (2022), examines how technology, particularly interactive media like video games, influences human development.

The good news is that there is a treatment for this pandemic, and Kardaras provides advice for parents and other worried adults on how to lessen its consequences.
