“Every culture must negotiate with technology, whether it does so intelligently or not. A bargain is struck in which technology giveth and technology taketh away.” - Neil Postman Obsessive Connection Disorder is a real, real problem. We’re addicted to our phones as we are notified, headlined, and distracted to death. This need to constantly be connected, which in turn, leaves us incredibly disconnected.Too many of us are struggling with what I define as Obsessive Connection Disorder. And the ramifications of what it’s doing to our lives is serious and dramatic.  In this episode, I discuss the problem of Obsessive Connection Disorder and what we can do about it. Our escape into our phone does not decrease our loneliness – it heightens it. We are all escaping into a disconnecting connection.We need to be mindful of the ways that we’re using technology mindlessly. As Sherry Turkle aptly writes in Reclaiming Conversations “We are forever elsewhere.”  In this episode, we will find a way out of the jungle of Obsessive Connection Disorder. Also you can read about it in full in my new book 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing
