2020 NE Senatorial race: on Technology


Ben Sasse: Digital consumption is rewiring parts of teenagers' brains

One of the things we're realizing is that when teens are constantly saturated and bathed in digital content, it's rewiring parts of their frontal lobe. The frontal lobe, for females, isn't done until multiple years past puberty now. And arguably, the male frontal lobe is never completed [laughter]. Some neurologists think it's probably a late-20s proposition. What we're learning about the brain is the rewiring of the brain with digital addictions is fast and it's not good for us.

Chris Janicek: Supports a major infrastructure modernization program

I support a major infrastructure modernization program. This program will create millions of jobs and investments right here at home in our own country. We need to create an infrastructure department in government to analyze and administer projects addressing our roads, bridges, water treatment plants, shipping ports, airports, electrical grids and overall modernization of our country.
