ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If children’s entertainment is now better than hooking and holding attention, are kids actually sharpening their focus- or is the screen doing most of the work for them? In this episode of Born Before Broadband, Rob explores how kid's shows have evolved alongside algorithm-driven media. More specifically, the episode analyzes pacing, stimulus density, and the science of attention. What changed, why did it change, and what did children lose as cartoons became better at cracking the code to their brains?
