Smartphone Nation: Why We're All Addicted to Screens and What You Can Do About It

Description

The tools and understanding you need to protect yourself, and your family.

Smartphone Nation will transform the way you – and your children – understand your devices and how they affect you. In this practical, agenda-setting book, Dr Kaitlyn Regehr – one of the UK’s leading experts on digital literacy – explains the corporate and technological structures that hold us all on our screens that bit longer and gives you the tools to push back against them effectively.

This life-changing guide provides not only practical tips, clear takeaways and tested strategies, it also sets out why we are still so unprotected in the digital space and why we should all be challenging tech companies and governments to create change. Covering Regehr’s ground-breaking research on algorithms, screen addiction and the rise of online misogyny, this book transforms how we understand our devices and their impacts on us and our children.

Smartphone Nation is essential reading for parents and anyone who has ever worried about how they interact with their devices.
