Professor Cal Newport is a proud Millennial and a computer science professor at Georgetown University who has never owned a social media account. Yup. You read this right. Newport has his PhD in computer science from M.I.T and has deliberately eschewed Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. because his research shows it’s bad for your brain and your ability to do deep thinking. In fact, Dr. Newport has written a number of books on the topic including DEEP WORK which he talks about in this episode.
