Is your sedentary digital lifestyle a threat to your physical health?
In short: We often focus on how screen time affects our minds, but the physical consequences are just as significant. Journalist Manoush Zomorodi explores how modern tech habits and prolonged sitting contribute to exhaustion and chronic illness.
In this talk, Manoush Zomorodi examines the physiological impact of our digital habits. Beyond the mental health concerns associated with excessive online time, she investigates how sedentary behavior can lead to increased rates of chronic disease and a state of feeling 'wired and tired.'
Drawing on early findings from a 20,000-person experiment, Zomorodi presents a practical strategy designed to improve both physical health and productivity, helping individuals break the cycle of inactivity caused by modern technology use.
