Is our culture (and the internet) keeping us stuck in adolescence?

Krista heard a recent theory that “everyone on the internet is twelve”. Is that true? Do we revert to adolescence when we’re on social media? Or are we stuck there because our culture is keeping us from developing into full adulthood? That’s the start of our conversation, and, of course, we took it many places beyond that as well.
