Max Stossel, Head of Education at the Center for Humane Technology (CHT) reveals some of the specific ways technology is designed to be addictive & distracting, highlights how that's impacting our children's cognitive development, and gives recommendations for how to address some of the challenges you and your family are facing. This presentation concludes with open space to discuss what’s working and not working in our households.

Max Stossel is an Award-Winning Storyteller and the Youth & Education Advisor for the CHT, an organization of former tech insiders dedicated to realigning technology with humanity’s best interests (as featured in the movie The Social Dilemma). Before working with CHT, Max was a media strategist with an extensive background in social, running social media or multinational brands, and later working for a social media company where he designed some of the notification structures to distract people that he now criticizes. He has spent the past four years speaking with 100,000+ students, parents, and educators around the world about social media's impact on our lives, and creating resources to help manage that impact. Max provides a unique and much needed perspective on the role of technology in our homes, schools and in our society.
