4. The debate surrounding screen time, with Pete Etchells
This week Vicki is joined by Pete Etchells, professor of Psychology and Science Communication at Bath Spa University to discuss the topic of screen time and some of the debate that surrounds it.
Talking points:
- What is ‘screen time’, and how hard is it to accurately measure?
- Why do we tend to look at tech through a harmful lens, and does this stand in the way of digitally flourishing?
- Do some policies just help us avoid thinking about children’s tech use?
