"The M Word" - Your Brain, Friends, and Soul on Technology / Doreen Dodgen-Magee




Undergraduate Chapel: Spring 2014 [Video] show

Summary: Dr. Doreen Dodgen-Magee addresses technology use and addiction. She presents startling statistics and research on the psychological aspects of technology use and calls her audience to consider changing the amount of time they spend using technology and the ways they allow it to influence them. She presents her concerns that social media has given young people a false sense of self, that people are no longer stimulating their bodies and minds in meaningful ways, and most importantly that people are losing the depth of their spiritual life, which naturally must be slow-paced and focused.
