College of DuPage Liberal Arts Division presents an evening with Dr. Jean Twenge, noted social psychologist and author of 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

iGen:  Understanding the Smartphone Generation

Today’s kids, teens, and young adults are iGen (born after 1995), the first generation to spend their adolescence with smartphones. iGen’ers are growing up more slowly as adolescents, spending more time online, and spending less time hanging out with their friends in person. They are also spending less time sleeping. Perhaps as a result, they are more likely to experience unhappiness, anxiety, and depression. You’ll walk away from this session with ideas for how to find a better balance with technology and be healthier and happier.

Tickets are FREE but you need to register.
