Información sobre este audiolibro

How many times have you looked at your phone today—only to find yourself looking at something completely different ten minutes later? We’re all addicted to screens, but this book will help you set boundaries that actually work.

Though we might not always choose to, we generally know how to eat healthy. Technology, like food, requires boundaries. With nutritional guidelines, a healthy digital diet is possible for all of us.

Smartphone Nation will transform the way you – and your children – understand your devices and how they affect you. In this practical, agenda-setting book, Kaitlyn Regehr – a celebrated researcher and professor of digital literacy – proposes a new, food-pyramid like framework for understanding and improving our digital consumption. She lays out how you can keep the advantages of the internet while identifying often hidden dangers and stepping away when you’re over-reliant.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

  • Game the algorithm
  • Catch misinformation
  • Parent your children in the digital age
  • Spot and tackle microdosing of harmful content
  • Navigate the attention economy, which prioritizes engagement at all costs
  • Improve your digital nutrition for better mental health
  • Spring clean your viewing experience

Smartphone Nation will empower you to create new tech habits for yourself, and your children. It’s essential reading for anyone who owns a smartphone, and it’s guaranteed to help you live a better life, both online and off.
