The smartphone generation 'is not prepared for adulthood'

US Psychologist, Dr Jean Twenge, has been researching the interesting and sometimes unpleasant effects of mobile phone addiction on young people who have never known anything but a world with social media, Google and Amazon.
Her new book is called iGen - Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy - and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood - and What That Means for the Rest of Us.
