Children and smartphones. How much is too much?

Is smartphone addiction becoming a problem in Finnish schools? Digital devices—laptops, tablets and smartphones—are ubiquitous in Finnish society, including in the classroom. We hear from the author of a citizens' initiative seeking to ban smartphones at school. We also talk to a Helsinki father urging the next government to stop what calls the over-digitalisation of childhood. This episode of All Points North was presented by Egan Richardson and Zena Iovino. The sound engineer was Juha Sarkkinen.
