Cyberpsychologist Dr Mary Aiken warns of the risk to human development posed by our obsession with cyberspace. Millions of babies round the world deprived of eye contact and proper attention, because their parents are distracted by their smartphones, could cause "an evolutionary blip".

Recorded at the Hay Festival.

Presenter: Helen Zaltzman Producer: Sheila Cook.
