Mindful Media with Megan Orton

Did you know that social media was founded on the idea of "Persuasive Programming"? In fact, Instagram started as homework for a class at Stanford. By the end of the class, they had taken in $1M in apps with 16M users. The tech industry immediately hired these designers to add Persuasive Technology to all their apps. And, now here we are – an addicted society.

Megan Orton, Founder of Mindful Media and a teacher, shares how she came to witness the results of too much media in her kids and then shares tips for mindful media for the ages and stages of child development from birth to adolescence. Social media and tech is not the enemy. Ignorance is.
