(Un)Brave New World, with Brianna Lane, Ph.D.

On Technology, Communication, and Connection

A LOT has changed in the past two decades, perhaps more than any other time in history, leading some of us to question - what are we doing to ourselves? Will technology beat us at our own game, or will our human need for connection prevail? I sat down with my guest, Dr. Brianna Lane, an expert on the impact of technology on relationships, to talk about this and more. Listen in as we chat about the changing frontier of communication, from online dating and how we engage on social platforms to how we keep our cell phones from eating us alive.
