The Future of Tech & Well Bring: Translating Concepts

This week we read The Future of Well-Being in a Tech-Saturated World by Janna Anderson and Lee Rainie (2018). To begin, the article states:

"A plurality of experts say digital life will continue to expand people’s boundaries and opportunities in the coming decade and that the world to come will produce more help than harm in people’s lives. Still, nearly a third think that digital life will be mostly harmful to people’s health, mental fitness and happiness. Most say there are solutions."

Our class used the course knowledge we've gained thus far in the semester to translate the article, containing information from 1,000+ media and tech experts, into a one-sheet appropriate and accessible for a high school student audience. What's a one-sheet? A one-sheet is a single-page document that showcases and promotes a specific idea. It includes the most pertinent information for a specific target audience and is designed to spark potential interest in the topic with a clear, concise, impactful message. These three one-sheets created by our class address the three overarching components of the article -- Technology as more Helpful, Technology as more Harmful, and Potential Remedies to Consider.
