Would deleting Facebook make us all happier? Of the 16 hours we spend awake each day on average, over 11 of those hours are spent interacting with digital media. In an always-on, tech-driven world, how do we gain control over our wellbeing?
This 1 unit course focuses on tackling and re-framing the relationship between technology and wellness. No coding involved; however we will be deeply exploring the human operating system.
The purpose of CS82SI is to use meditation, reflection, activities and discussion to explore the intersection of technology and well-being. We will ask students to engage personally with course material through activities and journaling. This is fundamentally a course on well-being, and particularly a course on its relationship with technology.
If you are enrolled in CS82SI, please visit the Syllabus for course logistics, expectations and more, or visit the Reader for additional readings and resources related to course topics.
