What do you ask an expert on technology, culture, and generational psychology when you have the chance?
Answers to that question varied as Dr. Jean Twenge, Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University, joined Wheatley Institute for a small Q&A session following her remarks at a Brigham Young University forum entitled Navigating the Top 5 Trends of Today's Youth.
Fielding questions from students and Wheatley scholars alike, Twenge's comments touched on a wide range of issues. She explained the ongoing need for schools to better regulate student loaner laptop usage, her own family's decision to tie her kids' first smart phone with getting their drivers license, and the importance of limiting middle schooler access to social media.
Dr. Twenge's forum remarks will soon be available at BYU Speeches.
