When was the last time you checked your phone? Ten minutes ago? An hour? Studies show we check our smartphones on average 85 times per day. Illuminated screens can affect our concentration, our sleep patterns, even our self-esteem. We know this, but still, we just can’t put our phones away. So, what has the information age done to better us as individuals – or what is it doing to detract from us ‘living in the moment’ and enjoying simple human pleasures? Leading this discussion is cyberpsychology expert, Andrew Campbell, questioning if our addiction to technology is preventing us from living in the real world.
