Recommendation

The digital revolution propelled Arianna Huffington’s online publication, The Huffington Post, to greatness, but her health fell victim to technology’s darker side. In her signature charismatic style, Huffington exposes the addictive, potentially life-threatening downside to digital connectivity. Ironically, throughout her talk, microphones pick up unwanted sound interference, which – like technology – viewers may find distracting. Nonetheless, getAbstract recommends Huffington’s enlightening observations to digital addicts who want to regain control of their lives.

Take-Aways

  • The technological revolution is a powerful, liberating force that has given a voice to people worldwide. Yet it is also has “enslaved” millions of mobile users.
  • Technology plays a large role in stress, depression, sleep deprivation, burnout and other adverse health conditions.
  • With deliberate behavioral change, you can wean yourself off your mobile devices. A “digital detox” – time away from your phones and electronics – can recharge your brain and body, increase your creativity, and improve your relationships and health.
