Kathy Burke airs a new episode tonight Thursday 9 March 2023 on Channel 4.
Growing Up Episode Two Kathy considers what it means to be young and reflects fondly on her own carefree and assured adolescence. However, today’s youth are growing up in a world where their every move is recorded and their every misstep can be found online forever. Kathy wants to know if being a young person today is simpler or more difficult than it was back then. Rite of passage has evolved over time, from Charlotte Church and Francis Bourgeois to young LGBT Jews turning to religion and the cutthroat gig economy for financial security. Kathy sheds light on the development of today’s youth in the context of the Internet and other digital technologies. She finds out that as a society, we will have to deal with the unintended effects of our brains adjusting to a world of considerably more choice. Are today’s youth finding it easier or harder to mature in light of the many new options they have?
