Now let’s add in technology.



“We know that engagement with social media and our cell phones releases a chemical called dopamine. That’s why when you get a text, it feels good… It’s why we count the likes, it’s why we go back ten times [to check the likes on Instagram]… Dopamine is the exact same chemical that makes us feel good when we smoke, when we drink, and when we gamble…

Because we’re allowing unfettered access to these dopamine-producing devices and media, basically it’s becoming hard-wired, and what we’re seeing as they grow older, too many kids don’t know how to form deep, meaningful relationships… because they never practiced the skill-set, and worse, they don’t have the coping mechanisms to deal with stress.”
