About the Book:
Today’s young people battle an unprecedented mental health crisis. Many digital natives recognize that their dependent relationships with smart devices and social media accounts are making them anxious, depressed, insecure, inattentive, and lonely. How can one step back from the screen in a post-pandemic social environment that promotes digital fixation over human connection?
In Control Your Scroll: How to Demote Your Device and Reclaim Your Life, certified member of Generation Z Elizabeth Tate describes her transformation from social media addict to ethical technology activist. Control Your Scroll blends personal narrative with eye-opening research to empower Gen Z to adopt a mindful approach to social media use. Each chapter ends with a practical digital wellbeing exercise to guide readers as they navigate the nuances of life online.
Control Your Scroll reminds readers that we, the consumers of social media sites and related platforms, get to decide how we wish to engage with technology. The choices about when and how to scroll are ours to make. This book is for all who are ready to take the first step towards a healthier relationship with technology.
