Uncensored Humanity UH 029 - Ryan Carlson Is Screen Time Bad For You

Our guest today is Ryan Carlson. Ryan has been the tech support for this podcast since before I even committed to do it. He has been a huge support in many different ways for the show. He helped me pick out my laptop, set up my equipment and even find where to upload and host the podcast itself.

Ryan wanted to come back on the show to talk about screen time. Ryan has been studying the effects of too much screen time. He believes that too much screen time can cause problems for people, especially children and young adults. I definitely agree with him on this one. I personally spent most of my childhood outside playing. I feel that was very beneficial for my development. Kids today need to be exposed to technology. To not do so would hinder their growth as they will be around technology for all of their lives. But I personally believe that they should have their screen time limited and they should have to learn how to interact with other kids and adults. This is a topic that all of us need to spend time thinking about how it will affect our lives.

Ryan is very interested in all things technology. He seems to always be up to date on all the new things coming out. He's always listening to podcasts and watching videos to find out where technology is headed. He usually has to explain it to those of us who don't understand how all these things seem to work. I'm sure it gets old for him trying to get things through my thick skull. I tend to be very old school and not up on technology. He's always giving me hell for only using 2-5% of what my phone can actually do. He is the person I go to with any technology question.

Ryan also enjoys brewing his own beer. I don't think he gets to brew as much as he'd like because of his two small children. They seem to keep him pretty busy. But I'm sure we'll end up talking about beer in a future episode.
