In the United States today, 266 million people ages 9 and over have a smart device. Of these people, they spend an average of just under five hours on their device each day. While technology is great and is responsible for many modern advancements, jobs and economic growth – there are also negative effects to being over-connected.

 

In a business setting, the effects are staggering. On average, each employee wastes 2 hours each day on device usage. This equates to $97 Billion in lost business productivity each year.

 

From a personal health perspective, excessive device usage is linked to a variety of negative health effects such at sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, obesity and ADD to name a few. If not managed properly, excessive device usage can erode relationships within the family which then triggers a variety of issues.

  • My work with Dr Lori has been one of the most important decisions I have ever made. It has had significant and long lasting effects on my life. I felt accepted and not judged, and she provided the support I needed to learn ways to be more connected and engaged in all areas of my life.

  • The presentation was on today’s over use of social media technology and it’s adverse effects on our lives. It was insightful and thought provoking. The discussion continued to address how do we make technology become a useful part of our daily lives rather than the controlling factor in our lives.

  • Dr Lori worked with our family to help us understand the ways we were disconnected and the changes we could make to experience better engagement. Our family walked away from our time working with Lori richer in many ways and we are so glad for our time spent with her to build a stronger family.
