Have smartphones created an Anxious Generation?

We all experienced things that made us anxious as kids – bullying, homophobia, graduating in a recession, career choices, dysfunctional families etc.

Guest:  Hugh Breakey, Deputy Director, Institute for Ethics, Governance & Law at Griffith University.

Presenter:  Warren Andrew
