Research by Dr @yanghu.co.uk @sriucl.bsky.social finds concern around technology's impact on privacy, misinformation and work-life boundaries are highest among educated, Western European millennials. In fact, greater use of technology heightens digital anxiety, especially for the digitally literate.
Tech savvy users have most digital concerns
Digital concerns around privacy, online misinformation, and work-life boundaries are highest among highly educated, Western European millennials, finds a new study from researchers at UCL and the University of British Columbia.
