Han ser ett starkt samband mellan psykisk ohälsa bland unga och deras användning av sociala medier. Därför vill han inte att unga ska få en egen Ipad i skolan för tidigt. Datorer får gärna användas på lektionerna för att sedan "rullas ut" igen. På datorerna kan man arbeta för att öva sig i källkritik, men för detta behövs inga sociala medier, säger Jakob Forssmed.

Whereas if that same email had an urgent deadline that needed to be replied to within a couple of minutes, the time you’d spend on it would probably decrease significantly. It’s the same email, but with different deadlines.
