Dr. Andrew Doan led the way in bringing knowledge of video game addiction forward in his great book, Hooked on Games. In this powerful video interview, I sit down with Dr. Doan to talk about why this generation of kids is leaving behind the real world to get hooked on video games, social media, and online video.

Dr. Doan and I also explore how many of those who claim to protect kids from unhealthy tech are actually funded by industry and act as PR to convince you that screens are where your kids should be. Tragically, the result is that knowledge of the true impact of kids' tech remains in a handful of tech elite. It's time to bring the real science of kids' use of consumer tech to all parents, educators, healthcare providers, and others who do the important work of raising our children and teens. Most importantly, Dr. Doan and I talk about what we can do now to provide all kids the lives they need to be happy and successful.
