0In Episode 7 of the Engineering Wellbeing Podcast, Youth Generation series, Former intern Rachel gives us a candid look at what it is really like to grow up in today’s technology driven world. She explores the double edged impact of social media, from creating meaningful connections and friendships across borders to quietly increasing anxiety around likes, comparison, and how we present ourselves online.
Rachel also shares why AI is becoming a patient, judgment free tutor for her generation and offers a fascinating perspective on the growing technology gap between parents and teens.
Most importantly, Rachel leaves listeners with a thoughtful and reassuring message for young people who feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life online.
在EW播客第七期「青年一代」系列节目中，前实习生Rachel坦诚分享，讲述在当下这个由科技主导的世界里真实的成长体验。她探讨社交媒体的双重影响：一方面能够跨越地域，建立真挚联结与友谊；另一方面，点赞攀比、相互对比以及线上形象塑造，又在无形中加剧人们的焦虑情绪。
Rachel同时谈到，为何人工智能正成为她这一代人耐心、不带评判的辅导工具，并针对家长与青少年之间日益扩大的科技认知鸿沟，给出颇具启发性的见解。
最重要的是，Rachel向那些被网络生活压力压得喘不过气的年轻人，传递出一段深刻又抚慰人心的寄语。

Engineering Wellbeing@Jin Shang
A podcast where we explore Wellbeing as a BRIDGE. In each monthly series, we take one theme and explore it through four complimentary lenses: a systems level framing, a technology perspective, a specialist or scientific viewpoint, and a cultural Chinese context lens. Because Wellbeing is never one-dimensional; it is biology, psychology, social, cultural, and technology all at once.
在这里，我们将探索健康福祉如何成为连接不同领域的「桥梁」。每个月，我们将围绕一个主题，通过4个互补的视角展开探讨：系统层面的宏观框架、科技维度的前沿洞察、专家学者的科学观点，以及中国本土的文化语境。因为真正的幸福从来不是单一的维度，而是生物学、心理学、社会学、文化与科技的交融共生。
