Technology, Social Media and Well-Being - Dr. David Weisenhorn - BWR: Conversation Ep. 67
Description
Listen as host Sebastian Calmes, a Wellness
Specialist with UK HR Health and Wellness and Dr. David Weisenhorn, a Family and Consumer Sciences Senior Extension Specialist, discuss the topics of technology,
social media and their impact on well-being.
In this conversation, we explore the topic of digital wellbeing and how it impacts other dimensions of wellness. We learned that technology is like a tool. Something to be used with a specific purpose. With any tool it can be used for good or for ill. This conversation reminds us to be mindful and intentional with technology. Without mindfulness and discipline, technology and social media can quickly become a hindrance to wellbeing. Educate yourself on what technology and social media are. Social media is designed to be addictive. With this information, we are better equipped to create positive technology and social media habits.
