SPECIAL EDITION: "Let them be kids" - Should we change the age of Social Media access?

Author: Trevor Long May 22, 2024 Duration: 57:08
There's a lot of debate, concern, questions and demands for the age at which kids can access social media to be lifted from 13 up to 16 right now. I understand where this is coming from, and the heartache that drives it. But will it work. I've produced this special edition podcast to help me, Trevor Long, understand the issue, and if a change will work. Rather than just banging on about it myself, I'm joined by experts in Digital Parenting and Cyber issues for Teens, to help explain what is going on with kids, how this might help, but also what gaps it might expose. I did this to better educate myself, but I think it will help educate us all. Feedback is welcome, from parents, kids, no matter if you agree, disagree, have ever seen issues or have never seen issues - get in touch - text me on 0477 657 657

Hosted by Trevor Long, EFTM-Tech, Cars and Lifestyle is a conversation that lives at the intersection of our digital and physical worlds. This isn't just a gadget review show; it's a deep dive into how the technology we use, the vehicles we drive, and the products we adopt shape our daily experiences and culture. Trevor connects directly with the people building the future, bringing you candid interviews with industry leaders and innovators to understand the stories behind the companies. The discussion is grounded and practical, often driven by listener input through calls and messages, making complex topics accessible and immediately relevant. Each episode feels like a chat with a well-informed friend who cuts through the hype, whether examining the latest automotive tech, a new smart home ecosystem, or a cultural shift driven by a leisure product. For anyone curious about the why and how behind the tools and toys that define modern life, this podcast offers thoughtful analysis without the jargon, exploring the seamless blend of tech, cars, and lifestyle that defines our era.
