Digital wellbeing webinar

Digital wellbeing webinar - Thursday 16th May (10:00-11:00): We live in a digital age. Digital technology advancements continue to permeate every area of our lives. The birth of the computer in 1946 sparked a digital revolution in society that continues to intensify. Digital technology has made our world reachable with its expanding information highways through the use of the internet. Through it, we have reinvented the way we interact and communicate with others through the use of mobile phones, emails, conference calls, social media apps, among others. And now with working remotely being a large factor of our working lives, we need digital technology more than ever! But what are the pitfalls of too much ‘tech-time’? Can too much screen time, accompanied with less and less social interaction with others, really be affecting our physical and mental health? This workshop looks at the risks associated with our constant need to be ‘plugged-in’, and also the benefits of taking some time out from technology – in what we’re calling a ‘Digital Detox’. Click here to register.
