I was recently in Copenhagen to speak at Techfestival. I was invited to present my thoughts on kids and screens – a topic which seems ever present.
Those who know me, know I like a good rant. But this cause required something different – nuance and context. So I wrote a proper speech, for the first time in my life. I hope you like it.

Things I’ve written (or said)
- In defense of screen time – a speech My speech from Techfestival in Copenhagen.
- #KidTech A podcast interview with your truly. About the insights from Toca Boca, and the mistakes we made with Toca TV in particular.
Two other newsletters to read
- Why Is This Interesting? Eclectic topics from Colin Nagy and Noah Brier. Delivered daily, they find an interesting angle on everything from pop culture to politics.
- NYT Parenting I tend to find most parenting media quite tedious and repetitive. This recently launched newsletter from the New York Times is a great exception. Balanced, timely, and interesting.
Two good books to enjoy
- Normal People, by Sally Rooney A lovely and classic coming-of-age story about the complexities of being young.
- Elmet, by Fiona Mozley A dark and moving story about a family living in the outskirts of society, and the consequences thereof.
