Normally on this show we don't talk to guests with a particular expertise in anything, we just talk to people on their everyday opinions on things. But for this episode, we actually talked to a millennial who is a professor aka someone who actually knows what he is talking about. His name is Jeff Bowen, and he teaches a class on social media at the Johns Hopkins Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.
In this episode, we talk about social media's effect on how we behave, and what kind of changes you read about in the media (Does social media make us less antisocial in real life? Does it affect women differently than men? Does it cause higher levels of depression and anxiety? Does it make a difference to communicate with someone face to face vs. over text? etc.) have a basis in research and which don't.
