Princeton Common Ground (PCG) is proud to host Max Stossel, Head of Education at the Center for Humane Technology (CHT), a nonprofit founded by former tech insiders dedicated to realigning technology with humanity’s best interests. Max has spent the past several years speaking with 100,000+ students, parents, and educators around the world about social media and tech’s impact on our lives. He provides a much-needed perspective on the role of technology in our families, schools and society.
Max will illustrate some of the specific ways technology is designed to be addictive & distracting, empowering you with recommendations on how to address some of the challenges you and your family are facing. This presentation concludes with open space to discuss what’s working and not working in our households.
As featured in the Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma, and highlighted in a recent NYT article, children’s screen time has reached unprecedented levels; now more than ever, we need to understand the impact of social media and technology on our children’s cognitive, social and emotional development. As the article emphasizes, “There will be a period of epic withdrawal,” warned one addiction specialist, once schools, activities and social life return to normal.”
