Event overview: "Look, a monkey! Controlling Your Attention in the age of social media and digital convergence"
Do you feel a little overwhelmed at the way technology is changing the way we interact, learn, and communicate? Is multitasking the new norm, and if so, what are the implications for our attention, our concentration, and our relationships?
