I just got a note -- I thought it was a comment -- that basically said: (a) this problem is real, (2) even teens tell me its real and very problematic, but (3) doesn't every generation worry about technology?

The note has vanished. I wanted to reply, and was able to do so: The current mental-health issues are off the charts and unprecedented in scope. The unbridled Internet is the biggest change since the printing press. This issue has to be faced.

Re: What would happen if someone played this video during “coffee hours” in your congregations?

A few people might pay attention, most would not. Our "coffee" hour is usually a well-provided luncheon and it's given over to visiting with one another. And I think that's exactly right-- fostering fellowship and maybe even friendships among the congregation is important.
