With current statistics suggesting that the average American over the age of 14 engages with screens upwards of 10 hours a day, the topic of our growing dependence upon technology applies to nearly everyone. While the effects differ at each point of development, real changes to the brain, relationships, and personal lives are well documented. Deviced! explores these alterations and offers a realistic look at how we can better use technology and break away from the bad habits we’ve formed.

Using personal stories, cutting edge research, and anecdotes from youth, parents, and professionals, Dodgen-Magee highlights the brain changes that result from excessive technology use and offers an approach to the digital world that enables more informed and lasting change and a healthier long-term perspective. Given that the reader is living within a culture of ever-changing and advancing technologies, Deviced! is written in such a way that its contents can weather the constantly changing digital landscape by focusing on the concepts of honest assessment and healthy boundary setting rather than on specific technologies or platforms.

Deviced! offers a mindful approach to assessing current technology use, breaking bad habits, setting new norms, and re-engaging with life with renewed richness and awareness.

Industry Reviews

Doreen Dodgen-Magee, a world authority on the topic of the rational and safe use of the Internet, gracefully reminds us that technology can serve rather than enslave us, that we need to be mindful not to let engagement with devices steal the richness and joy of life from us and our loved ones. Through her creative Take Action sections in the book, she teaches us that an act as simple as eye contact, safe touch, or respectful dialogue can ground us, open channels of communication, and build bridges of trust, so we can continue to remain human even when deviced. In other words, we don’t have to turn into machines or check out when we log in! It is indeed a choice to be human. Deviced! serves as a much-needed and timely guide as to how to do just that in our increasingly digital world.
