739. How Screens Shape Young Minds - With Ranko Ceric

Author: Mark Walsh October 21, 2025 Duration: 1:02:43

I spoke with coach, youth worker and martial arts teacher Ranko Čerić about how technology is shaping children's lives, health and attention. We explored what happens when screens become a constant presence from early childhood, how digital habits affect brain development, and why society has been slow to treat this as a public health issue.

Ranko brings a systems view, looking at how parents, schools and the tech industry each play a role in shaping the digital environment children grow up in. We also talk about attention, addiction, social learning and what a healthy relationship with technology could look like for the next generation.
