Would deleting Facebook make us all happier? Of the 16 hours we spend awake each day on average, over 11 of those hours are spent interacting with digital media. In an always-on, tech-driven world, how do we regain control over our wellbeing?nThis 1 unit course is part workshop, part seminar, with a focus on tackling and re-framing the relationship between technology and wellness. What are the principles of human flourishing, and what is technology's role in promoting them? How can self-compassion and an appreciation for diversity lead to the development of products that enhance our collective happiness? Using human-centered design thinking, we will explore how technology both propels and hinders us- as individuals and as a society. By the end of this course, you will have tangible insights and methods to regain control over your relationship with technology. No coding involved; however we will be deeply exploring the human operating system. Students from all programs and areas of study are encouraged to apply.
