NOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of technology, the brain, and development, which warrants further investigation. Comparisons to substance addiction lack scientific support and may be alienating to some viewers. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfHow is the screen time epidemic changing our brilliant and sensitive brains? And what do these changes mean for the future of the human species? In this talk, Morwenna explores these questions from a social, psychological and evolutionary perspective, giving some advice on how to foster better social connections despite the prevalence of distraction by our phones. Morwenna Lewis is a UKCP Psychotherapist and Parenting Coach. She specialises in helping families where addiction to screens and tech have fragmented the family system and left the parents and children experiencing disconnection and grief. She works in a systemic way, focusing on the relationships and attachment styles within the family as the addiction is often a symptom of underlying disconnection and emotional isolation.This talk was recorded as part of TEDxAberystwyth, learn more at: https://tedxaberystwyth.com/ This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
