When did screens steal our attention, and how do we get it back?

The workshop draws attention to the problems of information overload in the era of so-called digital transformation, when people increasingly rely on technological solutions both at work and in their free time, forgetting about the people around them. The facilitators will highlight key distractions, from smartphones to e-mails, which steal attention and disrupt focus in both young people and adults. They will explain how to distinguish between sensible and excessive use of technology, present options for disconnecting from screens, and provide recommendations for regaining focus and concentration.

The workshop will be led by Dan Podjed (ZRC SAZU) and Lilijana Šprah (ZRC SAZU)

The workshop will be held in Slovenian.
