 Ideas  / 4th December 2017 / 8:00 - 21:30 PM.


Emails, texts, news feeds, smartphones, social media and the internet. Welcome to the fully connected era. But how healthy or desirable is this, really? Today’s technologies have changed our ability to connect, and when confronted with the ugly, unhealthy face of connectedness, we often feel powerless. Technology exacerbates, complicates, accelerates and infiltrates our lives in ways that are reshaping the way we live and work. We all love to be connected, but we are overloaded – says science network & social health expert Julia Hobsbawm. How can we cope? Through telling case studies and personal experience, Julia Hobsbawm helps us navigate the rough seas of overload more successfully, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and rebalance our social health and wellbeing. Come and hear how.
