Screen time permeates nearly every waking moment. Our work and social lives play out through our computers and phones, on email, social media, video conference calls and gaming servers. But what is all this exposure to screens really doing to our health, our sleep, and our relationships? Pete Etchells, Professor of Psychology at Bath Spa University, studies the way screens affect our brains. In 'Unlocked', he delves into the real science behind the hype and panic. He lifts the lid on mainstream panic and reveals how little we have to fear, and the great deal we have to gain, by establishing a positive relationship with our screens and asking ourselves some essential, nuanced questions about how we use them.
