Isn't all this tech really to new to even know? Millenials are the first generation to really grow yo with all this and only just hit adult hood.

I also remeber everything being bad for my well being as a teen. Magazines and photoshop were the big thing, now it's just Instagram I guess. There's no shortage of ways to mess with a kids self esteem. Why single out tech and social media? What about sats and college admissions, and sports?

Millenials were born between about 1980 and 1995. Quite a few are already around 40. What you mean is probably Gen Z of which some are around 25.

I mean millennials only just now kind of got adult hood really going. We can barely just see if some of the social media during the younger years really had a lasting impact on life into adult hood or not.

The photoshopping just moved from print only to print and Instagram IMO. Instagram is just a different form of it. Maybe it’s worse since people might feel more of a connection with people on Instagram (and feel they are more authentic thus more believable) than out of reach Hollywood stars.
