Can Gen X Save us from our Tech addiction? w Christine Mchone

Amas Talks Podcast

A study says 53% of us have something called nomophobia. Nomophobia is cell phone addiction. I think technology has this way of changing us. Christine is the perfect guest to discuss this with.

- Gen X is often the most forgotten generation in the middle. What we got right with technology is the democratization of information. But sometimes technology doesn't always deliver on making things better. - At home, I definitely live a very analog life. I have an actual alarm clock. I keep a physical planner for all of my personal commitments. I miss how much we used to use our hands for writing. I embrace these imperfections

. - What is something in your life that you discovered embarrassingly too late in life? I found out wrestling wasn't real in college. Pacific Time switches between PDT and PST. What would be yours?

- Christine: Slack allows you to bring your personality inside of technology. Each generation will take a little bit about what they loved for their own younger years and incorporate it into our lives. What we need to do is just embrace the change, but just keep on passing on the things that we loved for the next generations.

- We have a tradition on the show where we leave folks with something you read or made you laugh. For me, I've been reading a book called die with zero. You can give chat GPT a prompt that says that the response should be formatted as a slack message. Christine:https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinemchone/
