The Truth About Digital Addictions and Detoxes

A lot of us joke around and say we're addicted to our phones, but when does the endless scrolling and hours of screen time turn into a full blown addiction? This episode we look at digital addictions, how devices are designed to be addictive but also how we're quick to demonise the tech that make our connected lives possible. Featuring: Luke Vu - Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Graduate from the Graduate School of Health at the University of Technology Sydney. Raian Ali - Professor in Computing at Bournemouth University, United Kingdom. Natasha Mauthner - Professor of Social Science Philosophy and Method at Newcastle University Business School, United Kingdom.
