Minder Telefoon, Meer Leven - Haagsch College
Endlessly scrolling on our phone, we all do it and more often than we want. From just sending a short text to mindlessly opening Insta or a news app again. And then suddenly you're an hour further. We want things to be different, but hardly anyone can actually break the phone. How do we get rid of the thing that increasingly determines our lives? And how do you prevent growing children from becoming captivated by the addictive smartphone?
During the theater evening Less Telephone, More Life, psychologist and young father Thijs Launspach shows you what Big Tech's attention-consuming apps do to us. And how you can use your phone in a healthy way. Because we deserve a life in which we are less disturbed and pay more attention to the things that are really important – and that especially applies to our children.
Thijs Launspach is a psychologist and writer, and expert on the influence of technology on our mental health.
He has been fighting for years against what the addictive design of algorithms does to our psychology.
He wrote Smartphone-free Growing Up (no. 1 in the bestseller 60), Antisocial Media and You are already enough.
He writes a column in the AD and makes the podcast Normal people do not exist.
