In my main line of work, I’m a researcher. Specifically, I study how people use the internet, and how, when they misuse it, we get bad outcomes as a society. Of course, I am far from being a luddite (although, the real-life Luddites weren’t actually against all technology!): it would be pretty hypocritical of me to be against internet use broadly and write for this blog.
What I’d like to here, then, is to informally share some of the findings from my research over the last five years, and to offer you a few things you can do to improve your relationship with the internet in such a way that it becomes a more empowering set of tools for you.
