Publisher's Synopsis
Technology now permeates everyday living in our hyperconnected, fast-paced environment. From smart homes and mobile devices to streaming services, such as cell phones and social media, our dependence on technology is at an all-time high. These developments have indeed given connectedness and ease, but they also fuel rising worries about mental health. Studies show that overuse of technology could cause anxiety, sadness, and many other emotional difficulties. We often struggle with feelings of inadequacy and alienation when we skim over well-chosen pictures of other people's lives. A feature of the contemporary experience is this contradiction of being constantly connected while feeling more secluded.
