So people kind of knew asbestos was harmful wayyy before it mostly stopped being used in 1979 (USA). But, it was still used constantly in many industries and ended up everywhere. What do you think is an example of something we find out is DRASTICALLY harmful 10-50 years from now? My guess would be screen time.


Yeah, I get that. To me the fears about “screen time” seem more akin to past worries about the dangers of technologies like “books” and “bicycles” rather than more direct threats to human health such as asbestos or coal.
