REBOOT

Technology is the mediator and middleman in nearly every relationship we have in modern life. Interwoven within the bonds between parents and kids, teachers and pupils, romantic partners, employees and bosses, midlife adults and aging parents, we are constantly making decisions about data and devices that affect not only us, but other people - often our nearest and dearest.

Yet we speak as though technology is an active, powerful, unstoppable force, and we are the victims. 'What is this technology doing to us?' people ask. But are we as helpless as we assume?

In REBOOT, psychologist Elaine Kasket disrupts common assumptions and fears about technology's impact on us, unfolding a different, more empowered, more individual way of responding to technology and its challenges at every age and stage.

For each phase of life, she explores how and why you may be pulled into using and thinking about technology in particular ways, even when those ways don't ultimately serve you or your relationships.

Come away curious about why you use technology the way you do; clear about how those choices are really working out; and with the tools to align your technology use with the kind of life and relationships you want. When you recognise and reclaim the extent of your power, what might become possible?
