Every generation of teens is shaped by the social, political, and economic events of the day. Today’s teenagers are no different—and they’re the first generation whose lives are saturated by mobile technology and social media.
In her new book, psychologist Jean Twenge uses large-scale surveys to draw a detailed portrait of ten qualities that make today’s teens unique and the cultural forces shaping them. Her findings are by turn alarming, informative, surprising, and insightful, making the book—iGen:Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy—and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood—and What That Means for the Rest of Us—an important read for anyone interested in teens’ lives.
There is such an abundance of information in today’s world that no one really cares to gather a lot of information about anything.
We believe that we can learn about anything we want with any depth we want at any point, so we’re going to be fine. No, that is not right.
If we ever have a question, we Google it and find the answer. We don’t care to read more about it. We’ll always know a little about a lot of things, and never a lot about anything.
Our brains have been rewired to be shallow.[1] Our attention span has decreased from 12 seconds to 8 seconds in the past decade or so. Healthy teenagers are not able to focus on one thing for more than 20 minutes at a time.[2] We try to grasp as much information as we can in the shortest time possible, and we overestimate our ability in that.
