Screen time ‘rewiring our brains’
How does screen time affect our development from an early age? We check the evidence. And a listener gets in touch to tell us his personal story of AI voice tools.
We dig through the evidence on the effect of screen time on babies and young children, with the help of some parents and experts. And after hearing our story of a woman who got her voice back with the help of AI, a listener got in touch to tell us his own moving story of hearing his father’s voice for the first time in 50 years.
