Changing Times

Child of Our Time Series 11
Episode 2 of 2

Professor Robert Winston and Professor Tanya Byron follow teens through their GCSE year to discover how our teenagers are being shaped by these unique times.

Since our teens were born the world has transformed, from changing families to economic uncertainties and competition, all in the glare of the social media spotlight. In this episode Professor Robert Winston and Professor Tanya Byron follow our teens through their GCSE year to discover how they are being shaped by these unique times.

In a bold experiment Child of Our Time teens gave us access to their digital lives, giving a 24/7 window into their phone use and the impact of constant connectivity on friendship, sleep and anxiety. As our teens reach this landmark age, we explore how they cope with the challenges of life to build their dreams for the future.
