Beschreibung

Analyzes the problem with vision and compassion, offering clear guidance.
¿ GABOR MATÉ

A call to arms to wake up from our complacency.
¿ ROBERT P. TURNER, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and Neurology, University of South Carolina School of Medicine

With new sections on eSports, incels, AI, and politics, Swingle's analyses are even more startling and counter-intuitive than the first edition.
¿ JON COOKSEY, writer and director, How to Boil a Frog

A wealth of recommendations for parents and healthcare professionals.
¿ CHRIS BJORNSEN, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Longwood University, Virginia

ENGAGING AND ENTERTAINING yet scientifically rigorous, this fully revised and expanded second edition of i-Minds comprehensively explores an era of screenbased technology's assimilation into our lives, pondering it as both godsend and plague. Addressing theory, popular media, and industry hype, i-Minds demonstrates:

  • How constant connectivity is changing our brains
  • The dangers of unchecked connectivity
  • Positive steps to embrace new technologies while protecting our well-being and steering our future in a more human direction.

i-Minds is a must-read for anyone interested in fostering health and happiness, or who is struggling with the role of screened technology in our lives.

The best book yet to help you understand your kids' digital impulses, and your own role in guiding them.
¿ Dr. WILLIAM SOFTKY, neurophysicist

Eye-opening, and I think anyone who has their phone within an arm's length from them right now would agree.
¿ ELEANOR GREENE, editor, Green American magazine
