Our Rewired Brains—Technology and Health (1.5 contact hours; $15. Expiration date: Jan. 28, 2016.)
Course description: Technology is an important and beneficial part of modern life. It can save us time, help us work more efficiently and effectively, and support personal and global changes. Yet many individuals never fully disconnect from their technological devices, and social, physical, emotional and spiritual difficulties can occur as a result. Called “technostress,” this condition is often related to multitasking and can lead to loneliness, frustration, anxiety and depression. Yet there are many ways to manage technostress and learn to use technology wisely.
The goal of this course is to review the use of technology in modern life, define technostress and technosis, examine the relationship between technology and multitasking, identify health impacts of technology, and describe methods of managing technostress.
