consumption

TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat… these are the everyday communication channels of today’s youth. I observed childrens´ media consumption with mixed feelings. On one hand, it is impressive how naturally and skillfully young people engage with digital media; on the other hand, it can be frustrating to witness how much time they spend in front of screens. This was especially evident during lockdowns, when schooling and social interactions with friends happened online, and grandparents could only be met through Zoom calls.
