Technology, Stress and Health

VOX Bored and lonely? Blame your phone.
Our emotions today are radically different from what 19th-century Americans felt. That’s partly due to technology.


Stress and Technology


I am often concerned for my children and other young people.  The younger generations are much more reliant on or addicted to their technology than I hope to ever be.


An older person in my life was frustrated that I often do not answer my cell phone or text back quickly.  They thought that since I had all this cool technology, I would be accessible when ever they wanted me...  I then explained to them that "I have this technology for my convenience, not yours..."


Of course they did not think much of that answer... :-)

  2. Laurie,
    Maybe you need to watch more "cat / toddler videos" until closer to the election. :-)
