What Is Affluenza? Much of what children will learn is by watching you, and so if you tell them about your hard work, show them how you save money in the bank and don’t indulge in impulse shopping, your children won’t either.
If your children don’t understand the value of money and how to manage it, chances are they won’t hang onto it for too long. Symptoms of affluenza include a myopic focus on work and earning money, strained personal relationships, depression, a self-image tied directly to financial status, and difficulty interacting with or relating to others.
Where you live and raise your children also seems to affect social mobility, as well. An effective way to teach children how to handle money is to set them up with their bank accounts to save the money they earn or deposit cash gifts. The socioeconomic class where Americans are born strongly correlates with the social status they achieve; this perpetuates the social situation where the condition of affluenza develops.

We know phones are bad for us. Now, ‘digital detox’ is a business model

The term "Blackberry addiction" refers to a form of compulsive behavior created by the advent of the once-popular mobile device. The Blackberry, which was the high-status dominant mobile phone during that period, gave people access to their emails, contacts, along with a phone and text connection at the touch of a finger. Device addiction can cause an increase in rudeness in social situations when smartphone users elect to scroll through their phones instead of making eye contact and interacting directly with the person or people in front of them. Blackberry addiction was an early form of tech addiction seen in the early 21st century. Some scholars have criticized the methods used to measure tech addiction, but the general trend at the end of the 2010s was toward building awareness about tech addiction, particularly in children, and developing digital hygiene.

Outsite is an online community of digital nomads that provides access to coliving/coworking, plus offers services to support remote workers.

While it may be difficult to count every single remote worker living a digital nomad lifestyle, according to MBO Partners, there are approximately 10.9 million digital workers in the U.S., as of 2020, the most recent statistics available.
