Why tech isn't the problem... "We need to prepare everyone for a digital world — one where they can earn money from a laptop whilst also learn how to navigate the murky waters of online information. We need to teach people about critical thinking, and how to identify fake news. We need to create communities based on education, not fear.

And we need to raise a generation who question what they are being told." by me cc Nir Eyal https://lnkd.in/gYUdDtP #socialmedia #tech #digital …see more

“There’s the idea of dissatisfaction. By this I don’t mean a pessimistic dissatisfaction of the world – we don’t like the way things are – I mean a constructive dissatisfaction. The idea could be expressed in the words, this is OK, but I think things could be done better. I think there is a neater way to do this. I think things could be improved a little.

"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both. Enough for him that he does it well." Lawrence Pearsall Jacks via Blake Mycoskie https://lnkd.in/giK2jkm …see more
