What would happen if your town told you to put your phone down after two hours a day? 🤯 In this episode of Jake’s World, Martin and Jake 🐦 flap into the fascinating (and slightly shocking) news from Toyoake, Japan, where lawmakers are debating a proposal to limit smartphone use for all 69,000 residents.
On paper, it sounds extreme — but is it? The mayor insists it’s “just a guideline” meant to spark conversations about screen time, family life, and the growing grip of device addiction. While some residents are outraged (how do you fit TikTok, Netflix, and late-night doomscrolling into two hours?! 😱), others see it as a bold step toward healthier living.
Jake has, of course, some strong opinions about humans being glued to tiny glowing rectangles (he’s still bitter he can’t use touchscreens with his wings). 🐦📵 Meanwhile, Martin asks the deeper questions: is this the future of digital well-being, or just a slippery slope to government overreach?
🎭 As always, Jake’s World brings you news with a mix of comedy, curiosity, and creative reflection. From kids skipping school without their phones to adults sacrificing sleep for one more scroll, this debate isn’t just about Japan — it’s about all of us.
👉 Tune in, laugh, and maybe even rethink your own scrolling habits.
