Tech Balance | Technology, Social Media, and How You Feel About Life

from The Well · host The Well

We spend a great deal of time looking at screens - smartphones, computer monitors, TVs, etc., and the jury is still out on how much our use of technology affects our brains. We know for sure, however, that technology affects our relationships. Some of us may already suspect that we spend too much time on our phones and not enough in face to face conversation or engaging in other activities we enjoy. We certainly have experienced both the positive and the destructive potential of social media on our relationships and sense of well-being. At the extreme, our use of technology can distract us from spending quality time with the people we love. During Tech Balance, we will gain an understanding of how technology affects our lives, discover best practices for using technology wisely, and most of all, learn how to improve our relationships and cultivate time with the people we love.
