Navigating the Tech Revolution: How To Use New Technologies To Strengthen Our Relationships
Today's episode of Connecting the Golden Dots is part two of our previous conversation about the pros and cons of technology. This time, we focus more on technology's capacity to enhance our relationship-building skills and improve our interactions. While we, the older generations, had to learn to interact with old and new friends in the digital world, newer generations had to do the opposite. They were born in a digital world and had to learn the prehistoric ways of interacting with each other. In the middle of those two extremes, all of us, the young and the old folk meet, exchange experiences, and do our best to turn that flat, cold screen between us into a warmer place.
Tune in as we discuss how to make our interactions more effective, build healthy boundaries in the digital world to protect ourselves in real-world scenarios, and strengthen our relationships. You'll also hear about how social media affects our interactions with each other and its negative and positive effects on scholars. Plus, I share tips on how to leverage technology in your favor and enhance your personal relationships, manage screen time for healthier relationships at home, and so much more.
