Dr. Catherine Ball

In a world where screens dominate our attention and every moment is linked to technology, Dr. Catherine Ball explores the growing movement toward intentional disconnection and what it means to be human in a digital age. This talk delves into the themes of digital minimalism, analog rebirth, and the ways in which individuals and companies can reclaim focus, creativity, and mental well-being by stepping away from the constant distractions of technology. We’ll explore the practical steps to balance our digital lives, the ethics of human consent in robotics, and the rise of the slow-tech movement. By drawing parallels between modern tech overload and historical disconnection, this talk offers a roadmap for fostering creativity, innovation, and human connection.
