They provide connection, allow us to complete academic and career-based work and engage in hobbies, and provide a way to find answers and generate ideas, to name a few. Use of technology can also negatively impact overall wellbeing psychologically, physically, socially, and academically. This course addresses the ways in which technology can detract from and contribute to a person’s overall wellbeing and strategies for engaging with technology in ways that are safe, private, productive, and helpful. Public health and psychology frameworks will help students explore society’s ties to technology.
