Hertz, Noreena C6, “Our Screens, Our Selves”
- Kaleidoscopes - popular and disparaged by elites. Is the comparison to screens reasonable? doubts, also, about printed writing over hand copies. (Print pdfs over screen reading.)
- We check our phone 221 times a day.
- thesis, 94: Cell phone use is contributing to loneliness. Hmm?
- trading off digitally mediated interactions for live ones. Everyone?
- evidence of impaired language skills. Parents distracted from kids.
- 97: study showing effect of smartphone on table on “closeness” bt couples.
- Jamil Zkai - “thinned” relationships reduce empathy.
- Covid - large increase in phone volume. Video.
- 99: evidence from empathy neuroscience - emotional engagement distinctive. Claims video interaction not the same.
- ”How to read a face” - Cites educators who claim that students are not reading faces and non-verbal information well due to cell phone use. 102: U Bristol study on kids and emo expression. Other studies…. Intervention studies show improvement after screen-free days.
- Would you advocate for “no cell phone” policies at your kid’s school? Harder for low income people to avoid using tech as a babysitter.
- Acknowledges that digital media and internet connect some people more than they used to be. Example of lgbt folks finding community digitally when their live community is not supportive.
- 106: studies connecting phone use and loneliness in adolescents. Direction of causation problem. Maybe lonely people use their phone more?
- 107: Best Intervention studies so far. Hunt Allcott. [1].
