DR. ELI SHAPIRO: How to use devices and social media in a healthy way

Technology. Our best friend? Or worst nightmare? These days, one of the biggest challenges for frum families involves smartphones, tablets, video games, and other devices, which can be rampant and immersive. We may also be heavily dependent (addicted?) on social networking like Twitter, Whatsapp, and Facebook. We feel like we cannot live without them, yet they can lead to problems. In this exclusive interview, Dr. Eli Shapiro, renowned technology and education expert, and founder of the Digital Citizenship Project, joined the VIN Podcast to discuss the struggles and dangers of technology in the frum community. His clarity and perspective are extremely refreshing and positive, while he raises awareness about the dangers and pitfalls of technology in a balanced way, as well as guidance on how to do it in a healthy way.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
