Technology is everywhere. From the moment we wake up, to the moment we turn out the lights, we’re either looking at a glowing screen, or it’s within arm's reach. And that’s got to have effects.

So yes, there’s been a lot of talk about what tech is doing to us. But what’s it doing to our kids? This week on Innovation Hub: coming of age in a digital world.

First up, childhood is starting to look pretty different from what most adults remember. Daniel Willingham argues that the changes may not be what you think; and that kids’ brains are evolving in unexpected ways.

Yes, technology is cool, but it’s certainly not a panacea; at least, according to Kentaro Toyama. He thinks we should approach the digital revolution a little more cautiously, especially when it comes to classrooms.

Looking to raise a baby Einstein? If so, Eric Weiner thinks you might want to give your child some space. “Creativity,” he says, “and especially creative genius, is a reaction to challenge.” So deboard that helicopter and make your parenting style a little more hands-off.
