Dr Karl Kruszelnicki giving a talk entitled "Making sense of screen time", where he discusses how can we best leverage digital technologies as amazing tools for positive change, on the Futire Stage, At New Scientist Live 2022
There's a conventional wisdom that holds about digital technology. Our screen-based lives, we have been told, are unwholesome, unnatural, and maybe even harmful. But what does science actually have to say about the effects of screen time? In a change to the previously advertised speaker, Dr Karl will uncover what we really know about their impact on our mental health, behavior and sleep. And, far from being a controlling influence in our lives, how can we best leverage digital technologies as amazing tools for positive change? Dr Karl Kruszelnicki just loves science to pieces, and has been spreading the word in print, on TV and radio, and online via social media for more than thirty years. The author of 47 books (and counting) Dr Karl is a lifetime student with degrees in physics and mathematics, biomedical engineering and medicine and surgery. Since 1995, Dr Karl has been the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney. In 2019 he was awarded the UNESCO Kalinga Prize for the Popularization of Science.
