I Killed My Phone: Surviving Technology and Changing Our Relationship to Our Screens
​
Over the last two decades technology has almost completely penetrated all human space and completely transformed our lives, sometimes for the worse. Mental health anguish is drastically up, especially for young people, and we face entire generations lost to the dopamine addiction that comes with the beeps and flashes. The gargantuan release of dopamine from these screens renders normal life devoid of joy and wonder. And we pass this universe onto our children, continuing the cycle. But there is another way and we can, as a species, learn to create space in which technology works for us, not the other way around.
I want to bring value and ideas to your audience that helps them break the cycle of addiction with their devices as well as ways to bring new sources of energy into their daily lives. Through gathering energy, strength and improved mental and physical health from other, non-addictive sources, we can bolster our performance and leave behind the days of mindless doom-scrolling. The greatest challenge facing our species, in the realm of mental health and wellness, is something that we can rise to as we re-acquaint ourselves with mindfulness as well as playfulness.
