Description
How do we untangle ourselves from technology? We give ourselves a hard time for not being able to put our screens down, but the platforms we use are designed to be addictive. It's not our fault.
Gaia Bernstein's new book: Unwired: Gaining Control Over Addictive Technologies shatters the illusion that we can control how much time we spend on our screens by the force of willpower, timers, or yelling.
Margaret and Gaia discuss:
The psychological forces that make us keep scrolling
What Big Tech and Big Tobacco have in common
Why screen time limiters and other similar methods don't work
