Focusing on phones and social media allows adults to ignore the real fears of adolescents, writes Dr Helen Care. Plus letters from Jo Johnson, Alison Watson and Arnold BrownLucy Foulkes makes an important point, having interviewed adults about their own past experiences: adolescence is bewildering to live through" and smartphones are only one piece of a large and complicated puzzle" (I'm an expert on adolescence: here's why a smartphone ban isn't the answer, and what we should do instead, 15 June). I work with teenagers, and they are fed up with the narrative that smartphones and social media are the cause of their mental health issues. It lets us adults off the hook.How much easier it is to blame phones and social media than to acknowledge the harm we do by taking away creative outlets in school such as art, music or sport, and focusing only on targets and rote learning. And how much easier it is not to take responsibility for fixing the other aspects of their lives that bring anxiety: the climate crisis; the lack of affordable housing; the cost of living crisis. Smartphones are a distraction from the real issue facing adolescents - they are fearful for their futures. Despite this, many of the young people I work with are hopeful, determined and courageous. Let's celebrate them and ask them what would help, instead of looking for an easy answer and taking their phones away.

As Elden Ring's much-anticipated final expansion is released, its designer gives a glimpse into how he crafts his harsh, beautiful, rewarding gameworldsMuch has changed for Hidetaka Miyazaki in the past 10 years. In May 2014, he was made president of FromSoftware - the Japanese game developer known for its breakout dark fantasy hits Demon's Souls (2009), Dark Souls (2011) and Bloodborne (2015), all games he himself directed. Back then, FromSoftware's games were critical darlings with devoted followings, but they were not enormous bestsellers, shifting a few million copies each. But in 2022, the company released the splendid, imperious Elden Ring, a collaboration with fantasy writer George RR Martin that is not only Miyazaki's masterpiece but also by far his most popular work: to date it has sold 25m copies. FromSoftware is no longer a niche maker of cult hits. It is now the home of a genuine blockbuster.Has this changed Miyazaki's outlook? Perhaps unsurprisingly, given how unforgiving and cold his games' worlds are, he is not the most optimistic person you'll ever meet. Elden Ring was in a league of its own in terms of the success and critical acclaim that it has seen, but what we try to do as a company is never assume that will happen again with our future games," he tells me in an interview in Los Angeles. No decision is based on any assumption that, hey, we did it once, it's going to happen again. Allowing for this rather conservative forecast gives us room to fail - and that in turn results in better games and better decisions. In a roundabout way, I think that assumption of not making another hit, that conservative outlook, is fuelling and aiding our game design." Continue reading...
Chinese firm recounts talks with US government that ended abruptly and says it spent $2bn to draft security agreementNew legal filings from the Chinese tech firm ByteDance have challenged the US government's unconstitutional singling out of TikTok", revealing fresh details about failed negotiations over a potential ban of the platform.Legislation signed in April by Joe Biden gives ByteDance until 19 January to either divest TikTok's US assets or face a ban.

Bills signed by Kathy Hochul lets parents restrict children from suggested posts and adds limits on use of minors' dataNew York's governor, Kathy Hochul, signed two bills into law on Thursday meant to mitigate negative impacts of social media on children, the latest action to address what critics say is a growing youth mental health crisis.The first bill will require that parents be able to stop their children from seeing posts suggested by a social network's algorithm, a move to limit feeds Hochul argues are addictive. The second will put additional limitations on the collection, use, sharing and selling of personal data of anyone under the age of 18. Continue reading...

While some of their language has changed, the sentiment of this latest aggressive movement is just as distressing. It's time for the games industry to stand up to it Don't get Pushing Buttons delivered to your inbox? Sign up hereA few months ago I wrote about a consulting agency, Sweet Baby Inc, that found itself at the centre of a conspiracy theory: aggrieved gamers on a Steam forum had erroneously concluded that this small agency was somehow mandating the inclusion of more diverse characters in games. Depressingly but unsurprisingly, the result was a tremendous amount of targeted harassment towards the people who work at Sweet Baby and every journalist who reported on it (particularly the women). It was a disturbing echo of Gamergate, an online harassment campaign 10 years ago that initially sprung from the wild accusations of a game developer's vindictive ex-boyfriend.The language has changed a bit in the past decade: they used to be upset about SJWs", or social justice warriors, and now they've taken issue with a different acronym, DEI (diversity, equality and inclusion), or just good ol' woke". But the sentiment from this group is the same: games are for us, and for us only, and if you want games to change, or to tell stories outside the straightforward male-oriented power fantasies that we grew up with, then, well, that's not allowed. We won't stand for it. In fact, we will try to aggressively harass you out of this space entirely. Continue reading...

While once there would be a lone photographer taking pictures of the happy couple, now videographers and content creators' are also invited to document the big day, and even the clergy have had enoughHiking to the top of the highest local peak in full wedding dress sounded dramatic, adventurous and romantic. A visual representation of feeling on top of the world; a jaunty juxtaposition between gorgeous wedding finery and the wilds of northern England. The resulting photographs were striking and memorable, recalls the photographer behind this scenario, Scott Johnson. The couple were lovely and it was one of his favourite jobs - but he wonders how their guests felt, having been left for two hours while they went off to hike up a hill. You're invited by the bride and groom to spend a day with them and they disappear, so I can see where the angst comes from," he says. But it's what the couple wants, so we have to say yes."Johnson, in his 40s, says he is old enough to remember when his wedding photography jobs lasted around three hours - he was there to capture the arrival at the church or register office, shoot the ceremony and take portraits and photographs for an hour or so afterwards. You didn't do any bridal preparation, or stay for the party." Now, he says, couples want coverage from early in the morning until midnight or later. I used to just take one camera and one lens," he adds; now he brings a van of equipment. Couples are much more aware of what can be done than ever before." And, anecdotally at least, many couples want much more. Some want the more stylised coverage," he says. You see wedding photography online where you're thinking, that's not a wedding, it's like a movie shoot." Continue reading...

Jason Blum, Louise Blain and Zach Wood discuss its approachA new indie video game publisher made its debut in Los Angeles last week: Blumhouse Games, a division of the horror movie production company co-founded by director Jason Blum in 2000.

During the livestreamed Summer Game Fest showcase, Blum and creative lead Louise Blain announced a slate of six experimental horror games, the first of which, Fear the Spotlight, will launch later this year.Blum described the games label as going back to our roots, with a focus on indie horror, pushing boundaries and elevating new, original stories". Like the company's movies, from Paranormal Activity to M3GAN, its games are all low-budget productions with interesting ideas. The slate includes Project C, a new project from the creators of the brilliant and unusual cine-game Immortality; Grave Seasons, a farming-life game where one of the townspeople is a serial murderer; and Fear the Spotlight, a 90s-styled low-poly horror game about two teenaged girls and a seance gone awry, made by a two-person husband-and-wife team.

Artificial intelligence is creating companions who can be our confidants, friends, therapists and even lovers. But are they an answer to loneliness or merely another way for big tech to make money?Could you fall in love with an artificial intelligence? When Spike Jonze's film, Her, came out 10 years ago, the question still seemed hypothetical. The gradual romance between Joaquin Phoenix's character Theodore and Scarlett Johansson's Samantha, an operating system that embraces his vulnerabilities, felt firmly rooted in science fiction. But just one year after the film's release, in 2014, Amazon's Alexa was introduced to the world. Talking to a computer in your home became normalised.Personified AI has since infiltrated more areas of our lives. From AI customer service assistants to therapy chatbots offered by companies such as character.ai and wysa, plus new iterations of ChatGPT, the sci-fi storyline of Her has come a lot closer. In May, an updated version of ChatGPT with voice assistant software launched, its voice's similarity to Scarlett Johansson's prompting the actor to release a statement claiming that she was shocked, angered and in disbelief" that the AI system had a voice eerily similar" to her own.

A new essay on the rise of superintelligent machines pivots from being a warning to humanity to a rallying cry for an industrial complex to bolster American military defenceTen years ago, the Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom published Superintelligence, a book exploring how superintelligent machines could be created and what the implications of such technology might be. One was that such a machine, if it were created, would be difficult to control and might even take over the world in order to achieve its goals (which in Bostrom's celebrated thought experiment was to make paperclips).The book was a big seller, triggering lively debates but also attracting a good deal of disagreement. Critics complained that it was based on a simplistic view of intelligence", that it overestimated the likelihood of superintelligent machines emerging any time soon and that it failed to suggest credible solutions for the problems that it had raised. But it had the great merit of making people think about a possibility that had hitherto been confined to the remoter fringes of academia and sci-fi. Continue reading...
The student on the image she took while working on a series for her photography A-levelAleesha Coker, then 17, and her two younger sisters, Freda and Bintu, had stopped off at the corner shop for a snack on their way home from school. Coker had been working on a series for her photography A-level, shooting through glass from exterior to interior. As the girls passed by apayphone in Lorrimore Square, south London, Coker was inspired to set up a moment. She used an iPhone 12 set to portrait mode - I don't particularly enjoy using film cameras," she says - and was pleased with how themuted colours gave it anintimate feeling".As their older sister, I feel a responsibility to protect them and be a role model. Freda is 13. She's very quiet most of the time, but can be loud when she feels comfortable. Bintu is 10; she has a very bubbly character and can be outspoken. I don't think their expressions in the photograph necessarily reflect the excitable parts of their personalities," she says, but something deeper. When my little sisters gaze at the camera in this way, I'm reminded of how much they trust me." Continue reading...

One for the historians and tech specialists maybe, but this documentary about the Moviola, used from the 1920s until the 21st century, is a fascinating watchHoward Berry is a British film historian and chronicler of Elstree studios; now he has directed this unique documentary, written and conceived by the legendary film and sound editor Walter Murch, who edited among other movies Apocalypse Now, The Godfather and The English Patient. Together, Murch and Berry have provided what can only described as a full-on geekgasm for connoisseurs of movie production in the pre-digital age.Their subject is the Moviola, an analogue editing machine the size of a fridge with two pedals, one for advancing, the other for rewinding film, a little screen and speaker for sound. However cumbersome it may look to people used to editing TikTok videos on their phones, the Moviola was an engineering miracle of efficiency and portability. It was passionately loved and admired by film-makers, in use in basically the same form for most of cinema's existence, from its invention in 1922 until the 21st century - and which stayed stubbornly around for while even after digital editing became the norm, as if a Model T Ford was kept on the road until the Toyota Prius took over. Using one was addictive: Orson Welles was famously obsessed with the one he owned. (Murch says he repeatedly stayed late at the office working on his, until his wife demanded to know if he was having an affair; yes, he replied, her name is Moviola.") Continue reading...

A school in west London is trying to give children their childhood back - by extending its hours from 7am to 7pm. Will it work? Helen Pidd reportsFrom the isolating effect of the Covid pandemic, to austerity and the cost of living crisis, schools are on the front line of the problems facing the communities that surround them. And on top of those challenges in recent years worries have been going of the effect that mobile phones and social media are having on the mental health of pupils. Now, one school has decided to take drastic action.For the last seven weeks, All Saints Catholic college in Ladbroke Grove has been opening its doors to children from 7am to 7pm. It's part of a pilot scheme running for 10 weeks with the aim of addressing some of the problems teachers have seen grow over the past few years. The school is in the shadow of Grenfell Tower, many children are eligible for free school meals - and it is thriving. Now it wants to help parents ensure their children do their homework, play games and socialise face to face. Continue reading...
