Society's Long (And Unaddressed) Battle Against Digital Obesity

from This Might Get Uncomfortable

Technology has become so embedded in our lives that it has a part to play in almost everything we do each day. But this also means we have to deal with tons of data at all times, resulting in digital obesity. Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen delve into the dangers of this state, including a huge amount of digital clutter, a constant feeling of not-enoughness, and the fear of missing out. They discuss how to solve data hoarding by explaining the right way to determine which things you should keep and let go. Whitney and Jason also talk about how too much time with data may lead to multiple online identities and oversharing, which give birth to manipulation and inauthenticity if not managed well.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the This Might Get Uncomfortable community today:wellevatr.comWellevatr FacebookWellevatr TwitterWellevatr Instagram
