Screen Generation
Children born from 2011 onward are the first generation to grow up saturated in screens from infancy, spending more hours in front of phones, tablets, and computers than any generation before them. This film looks at what that shift actually means, tracing how constant connectivity reshapes attention spans, sleep, social skills, and family life. Parents, educators, and researchers weigh in on what they are observing in classrooms and living rooms as toddlers swipe before they can talk and teenagers measure their days in notifications. The film treats the phrase "digital natives" less as a compliment than as a diagnosis, asking what is gained and what is quietly lost when a childhood is mediated almost entirely through a screen. It stays grounded in everyday scenes rather than abstract statistics, following how this new normal plays out at the dinner table, in the schoolyard, and in the quiet hours before bed when the glow of a device is often the last thing a child sees.
