Description

Living in an age of digital distraction has significant effects on our brains. Our constant connection to technology can lead to feelings of disconnection. Dr Carl D Marci, a leading expert in social and consumer neuroscience, explores the impact of overuse of smart phones and social media on our brains. The mounting evidence suggests that excessive use of these technologies is rewiring our brains, resulting in a loss of meaningful relationships in favour of weaker ties. Our ability to form strong social bonds is fundamental to human experience, but powerful technologies have hijacked our need for intimate emotional connections. This has led to pressure on critical brain components associated with attention, emotion, and memory. Rewired provides scientifically supported solutions for restoring tech-life balance, helping individuals such as parents concerned about their children's internet exposure or stressed workers managing the demands of 24/7 availability.
