Episode 256: How AI is Changing Adolescence. Plus, ‘Agatha All Along’

LISTEN TO THE PLUGGED IN SHOW, EPISODE 256

Over the last few years, news stories about artificial intelligence’s proliferation show up, it seems, just about every day. Some ponder whether we’re headed down a Terminator or Matrix-like path. Others speculate about how this rapidly evolving technology will change the way we work or otherwise revolutionize our culture.

But closer to home, there’s another question worth pondering right now: How is AI changing the experience of adolescence? Some of the answers to that question might surprise you as our team ponders this technological marvel’s impact on being a teen today.

And in our second segment, I talk with Paul Asay about the latest Marvel show, Agatha All Along. Just how occult-focused is it? We’ll address that question, as well as dealing with some other elements of this series that you’ll want to be aware of as a parent.   

As always, we’d love to hear from you and engage your thoughts on this week’s topics … or anything else related to pop culture and technology. You can connect with us in several different ways. The comments section below is one method. Or shoot us an email at [email protected].

And if you go to our podcast homepage, thepluggedinshow.com, you’ll find a black ribbon on the right-hand side of the page where you can leave us a voicemail with your thoughts—we might even feature your audio message on a future show. And, of course, Facebook and Instagram are options, too. We’re excited to report that we’ve begun hearing from some of you, and we look forward to adding more voices to the show as you leave us your thoughts.

Thanks for joining us this week on The Plugged In Show.
