Afternoons with Helen Farmer

The young people who hate the internet

1 hour 3 minutes | Wednesday, 21 May 2025

Almost half of young people would prefer a world without internet, according to a new study. But why? And what’s it like to get caught out online? Helen is joined by Dr  digital education expert Alison Burrows and Heather Harries, the mother of a teen extortion victim. Meanwhile, in today’s world of artificial intelligence, big data and analytics, it may seem that intuition has no place in decision-making. Psychologist Joslin Gracias explains why that's absolutely not the case. And as new research reveals men are twice as likely to die of ‘broken heart syndrome’, we ask life coach Chris Harrison and education consultant Claire Stancliffe how we can help our men, and boys, become more emotionally aware.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
