Special Session 3: Digital Wellbeing in Education, Entertainment and Humanity
Digital wellbeing is the essential practice of using technology intentionally to support human flourishing, not erode it. In education, it champions deep learning over distracted engagement. In entertainment, it advocates for mindful leisure over passive algorithmic consumption. For our shared humanity, it confronts how hyper-connectivity can foster isolation and reshape identity. Across all three domains, the core challenge is the same: to reclaim our attention, autonomy, and authentic connection from systems designed to capture them. This pursuit is not about rejection, but about ensuring our tools serve our deepest needs for focus, creativity, and meaningful presence.
