The Battle for Your Time:

Exposing the Costs of Social Media:

Do we truly comprehend how much of our time and attention is given to technology? In his talk, Dino Ambrosi reframes how we think about our relationships to devices, and shares his ideas on creating healthy digital habits.

 

Dino Ambrosi, the founder of Project Reboot, is an expert at guiding teens and young adults to relationships with technology that empowers them. While studying at UC Berkeley, he created a popular course called Becoming Tech Intentional, which he taught to over 60 of his fellow students who reduced their screen time by an average of over 3 hours per day.

 

 After graduating in May, he embarked on a mission to spread the contents of his course to a broader audience. Through school assemblies, workshops, and consulting, he has worked with over 500 students and parents to raise awareness about the addictive potential of our devices, drive conversations around digital wellness, and deliver practical strategies to build healthy digital habits. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. To date, it has been viewed almost 1,700,000 times.
