That's a reality, technology is pervasive in our daily life. At least, it should improve our productivity, efficiency and communication, but the reality might be different. There are growing concerns across academia, policy makers and corporations about the unintended consequences of digital ubiquity on people - so societies' well-being. How does digital life impact people's overall well-being physically and mentally? Does technology lead to more happiness and wellbeing?

The presentation will examine some of the positives and negative impacts of digital life on people's well-being, then deep dive into some practical solutions to overcome these negatives.
