But why?
Attention spans are decreasing at an alarming rate. Patience is down, with manners too often lost in digital absorption. Communication skills, written and interpersonal, are eroding. Tempers are short, rudeness runs high, and cell phone dependency approaches neurosis. Frustration is relentless, with angry reactions just keystrokes away.
On-line engagement times are rising, as are cyber-crimes and bullying. Social media has turned from a happy community to a dark and negative place that tracks our every move. The web archives and analyzes where we go and what we say, building behavioral profiles to sell to advertisers and thieves. Political anger and unrest boil in cauldrons of emotional toxins.
Road rage keeps rising, digital addiction is skyrocketing, and political unrest is fracturing societies and friendships. Information avalanches inundate our lives but the web has erased the lines between fact and fiction.
Statistics tied to young adults continue to spotlight disturbing trends. Campus stress and suicides are up, while coping and resilience skills diminish.
How and why are these things happening? More importantly, what can you do to protect yourself and those you care about?
The answers are here. "The Impact of Technology on Behavior & Happiness" examines and explains what's been going on since the 2008 global financial crisis and American presidential election, which birthed a remarkable hydra of technological explosion.
Globally renowned behaviorist Ocean Palmer systematically explains and maps out vital contributing factors to behavioral change. He then identifies key behaviors we are doing more of, as well as behaviors we do less frequently. Palmer maps those changes to specific cause-and-effect emotional triggers that directly impact happiness, contentment, optimism, and emotional stability.
