87: Is Tech Eating Us Alive? with Dr. Rosalie de Rosset

Tech runs our lives—but is it running us into the ground? In this episode, we dig into how phones, screens, and “digital everything” have hijacked the classroom, rewired our relationships, and even crept into sacred spaces. Dr. Rosalie de Rosset joins us to call it like it is: we’re celebrating mediocrity, mistaking convenience for connection, and slowly being digested by entertainment. But it’s not all doom and gloom—we talk about how to push back. From family dinners without phones to media fasts that reset your soul, we explore what it looks like to actually live instead of scroll. Faith, freedom, and real connection are on the line. The future is now…so what are we doing with it? Dr. Rosalie de Rosset —a professor, writer, and literary voice who spent over 50 years teaching students how to think deeply in a world that increasingly refuses to. With a fierce love for language and a sharp eye for cultural drift, she’s long warned that technology isn’t just changing how we communicate—it’s dulling how we reason, create, and imagine. Today, we’re asking her: what have we traded away in our rush to stay connected?
