By now, you know that technology is
inescapable. Depending on smartphones
and computers for work and play is the
norm, but Adam Alter uses his Ted Talk to
explain how all of this dependency is
actually making people less happy.
As a psychologist, he’s studied just how
much time people stare at their screens
during the day, and how statistically less
happy they are because of that time. What’s
more, though, is that Alter explains how to
change this part of your life, and increase
the satisfaction in your life.
