Linda Rising - Author of various books & Computer Software Consultant and Professional
DESCRIPTION
35,000. That's the average number of decisions a person makes every day. Have you ever wondered how many of these are digital decisions — ones made using technology like smartphones, wearables or laptops? How about decisions that computers, algorithms and artificial intelligence make for us?
The vast majority of our decisions are influenced by irrational and emotional factors. For decades, scientists have been studying so we can better understand how it is possible not only to predict but also influence decisions through interventions on the environment where decisions are made.
Learn more by diving into this GOTO Book Club episode with Fabio Pereira and Linda Rising.
The interview is based on Fabio's book "Digital Nudge"

Intro

Linda Rising: My name is Linda Rising. As you can see, I'm incredibly old. I was born in 1942. That means I'm not a member of Gen Z or the millennials, but a member of what was called the silent generation. My family did not have television until I was 10 years old. So, I certainly didn't grow up with a computer or a phone. I don't struggle with the problems that many of you do. I don't have an addiction to devices. I often forget to turn my phone on in the mornin
