Ep. 336: On Screens and Solitude

In a recent article for The Atlantic, Derek Thompson writes about the troubling trends toward increased solitude.

He then answers listener questions and concludes with a tech corner segment inspired by yet another New Yorker column. Below are the questions covered in today's episode (with their timestamps).
