Beating Technology Addiction
from On Your Marks Hosted by ACCA
Managing our screen time can be really tough for many of us. With laptops on our desks, phones in our pockets, and TVs on at the end of the day, it’s easy to see how our relationship with the internet and technology can get really complicated, especially when we need to use those same devices to work or study. This week we sit down with Professor Phil Reed from Swansea University. He’s a psychologist who has spent years trying to understand the ways in which technology and the internet affects the way we think, feel, and behave. We dig into what it actually means to be addicted to technology, what’s happening in our brains when we get a notification, and some tips we can all try to improve our relationships with our phones.
