Summary

Digital media companies know a lot about human psychology and brain development and use it to their advantage, to gain and hold not just children's, but adult attention too.

Join Erin and Gaia for a stimulating discussion about how digital media uses our psychology to grab our attention and keep us coming back, for kids and adults alike.

Gaia Bernstein is a Law Professor, Co-Director of the Institute for Privacy Protection and Co-Director of the Gibbons Institute for Law Science and Technology at the Seton Hall University School of Law. She writes teaches and lectures in the intersection of law, technology, health, and privacy. Her book: Unwired: Gaining Control Over Addictive Technologies shatters the illusion that we can control how much time we spend on our screens and shifts the responsibility for a solution from users to the technology industry, which designs its products to be addictive.
