With the technological advancements of the past two decades, a lot of new challenges have emerged for parents of young children. As they try to navigate the ever-evolving media and device landscape, it’s as difficult as it is important to strike the right balance between giving kids the chance to learn how to use technology and protecting them from the potential harm that early (over)use of smartphones and social media can doubtlessly inflict on a child’s development.

Given the complexity of the task at hand and the lack of past experience to draw from, it’s understandable that many parents are uncertain how to manage their children’s device use, screen and social media time. And while they acknowledge the potential benefits of smartphones and social media, a sizeable share of parents would like to turn back the time for their children’s sake, according to a recent Harris Poll.

When asked which things they wished had never been invented thinking about their child’s experience growing up, more than half of the surveyed parents said they wished for their kids that social media didn’t exist. More specifically, 62 percent of respondents wished that TikTok had never been invented, 62 percent said they would have liked to spare their kids the toxicity of X (formerly Twitter) and 56 percent wished that Instagram didn’t exist. As our chart shows, the one thing parents wanted gone most for the sake of their children is online po*******hy, which more than 7 in 10 respondents hoped wouldn’t exist.

• .world.in.maps Did you know there’s a fascinating moment each year when almost the entire human population is in daylight at once? Every July 8th at precisely 11:15 UTC, about 99% of the world’s people are experiencing sunlight.

This happens thanks to the tilt of Earth’s axis and the distribution of our population. Most people live in the Northern Hemisphere, where it’s summer in July, bringing long days and widespread sunlight across vast regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

During this brief moment, only a few places remain in darkness: mainly remote parts of the Pacific Ocean, tiny corners of Australia, and small areas in western South America. It’s astonishing how the sun can unite billions of us under its rays, even as we’re scattered across continents and time zones.

By• .data Over the decades, Texas has faced a staggering 372 major natural disasters—the most of any state since 1953. California follows closely with 370, driven by wildfires, earthquakes, and droughts, while Oklahoma, known for its tornadoes, has logged 111. The recent flood in Texas has already caused widespread damage, with rising concerns over missing persons and mounting recovery efforts.

If you had to survive on ₹22/hour, what would your day look like?

Forget Starbucks. Forget Uber. Forget eating out.

That’s the reality behind India’s $0.27/hour minimum wage.
Meanwhile, someone doing the same work in the UK earns ₹1,300/hour.

🧠 Here’s the question:
Do you think India underpays—or are there deeper reasons behind this gap?

• What do you see when you stare at this grid of line segments: a series of rectangles, or a series of circles?⁠
⁠
The way you perceive this optical illusion may tie back to the visual environment that surrounds you, a recent preprint suggests. That could mean people’s vision is fundamentally shaped by the environments they’re raised in—an old but controversial idea that runs counter to the way human perception is often studied.⁠
⁠
For example, when presented with a grid of line segments that can be seen as either rectangles or circles—an optical illusion known as the Coffer illusion—people from the U.S. and U.K. almost always see rectangles first, and they often struggle to see circles. The researchers suspect this is because they are surrounded by rectangular architecture, an idea known as the carpentered world hypothesis.⁠
⁠
In contrast, the traditional villages of Himba people are composed of round huts surrounding a circular livestock corral. People from these villages almost always see circles first, and about half don’t see rectangles even when prompted.⁠

• According to a survey of U.S. teens conducted by the Pew Research Center in the fall of 2024, 48 percent of Americans aged 13 to 17 now say that social media has a mostly negative effect on people of their age, up from just 32 percent two years earlier. Only 11 percent of teenagers in the U.S. now describe the impact of social media as mostly positive, with mental health a key concern for both teens and their parents. 55 percent of surveyed parents said that they’re extremely or very concerned about the mental health of teenagers these days, while 35 percent of teens said the same about their own generation.

When asked to name the single biggest threat to their own/their children’s mental health, teens and parents were both most likely to name social media as the one thing that impacts teens’ mental health most negatively. While 44 percent of parents saw social media as the number one threat to their children’s mental well-being, 22 percent of teenagers said the same, with bullying and outside pressure/expectations also high on their minds.

“They live in a fake world of social media that limits them as human beings, distancing them from their family,” one concerned mother said about today’s teenagers, while a teenage boy said that constantly being exposed to other people’s opinions on social media was a big problem for his generation and that overuse of social media appeared to be the main cause of depression among people of his age.
