We all know that technology is a double-edged sword. Although the creation of online communities can build a sense of unity, research around the effects of social media suggests otherwise. We are becoming divided, and our mental health is plummeting, so it's imperative that we learn how to re-engage with technology mindfully. 

In this episode, I chatted with Bob Wigley, author of Born Digital, The Story of a Distracted Generation, to discuss the nature of living in this increasingly digital world, and ultimately, the importance of reclaiming our attention so that we can build a healthier relationship to technology. Through a combination of mindfulness, responsible software design, and regulation, Bob presents what we can do to control Big Tech, rather than letting it control us.
