Overview
How many times have you looked at your phone today? Or rather, how many times did you look at your phone to do one thing, only to find yourself looking at something completely different ten minutes later? We’re all addicted to screens, but what can you do about it?
Whether we like it or not, our lives and careers, as well as those of our children, will be shaped by social media, apps, and AI. In today’s attention economy, our minds and our attention equal the product that is sold to advertisers. Only those who learn how to navigate our digital world effectively will thrive.
Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr breaks digital consumption into an accessible structure of the food pyramid we all grew up on and frames it into five digital nutrition categories: education and learning, at the bottom of the pyramid, where the most time should be spent; creativity, including interests like reading, music, or drawing; communication with friends and family; participation, such as searching and gaming; and passive, the activities we should do the least, like doomscrolling.
Smartphone Nation encourages and supports readers, showing how to:
- Game the algorithm
- Catch misinformation
- Spot and tackle microdosing of harmful content
- Navigate the attention economy, which prioritizes engagement at all costs
- Improve your digital nutrition for better mental health
- Spring clean your viewing experience
Uplifting and inspiring, Smartphone Nation is essential reading for anyone who owns a smartphone, and it’s guaranteed to help you live a better life, both online and off.
