Phones have become an ever present part of our lives. As with all technological leaps forward there is a cost. One of the costs has been to our mental health. The phone has become a double edged sword both bringing people closer together and driving a wedge in our natural ways of connecting. To help us us better understand the effects of phones on our mental health we are joined by Alyssa Milner who is a digital native (a person who has grown up never knowing a time without cell phones or the internet). Alyssa brings a unique perspective as she has been very cognizant of the effects of screen time on people, particularly youth. She has approached technology with curiosity and caution as she has witnessed the effects on peers and herself.
