The lack of intimate, face to face human contact is causing record levels of depression and loneliness. Yet, it seems people, especially young adults, continually choose screen time over the opportunity to physically and emotionally connect with others. Is this a phenomenon of human evolution, or is this the objective of device and software corporations to increase advertising revenue?

To seek out the antidote for the increase of device addiction and the decline of human connection, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen talks with a leader in the field of social and consumer neuroscience, Dr. Carl D. Marci about the impact of digital technology on the brain.

Dr. Marci talks about how our devices can cause addiction and who is the most susceptible. He also shares tips on how to consciously prepare ourselves and our children for the next wave of AI technology and concrete findings from his book, REWIRED: Protecting Your Brain in the Digital Age.
