SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The conversation around the need for more humanity in tech is growing and digital wellbeing needs a voice in that. Dr. Heidi Forbes Öste, in response to increased demand for digital wellbeing speakers, has signed with Chartwell Speakers for future bookings. She is a Behavioral Scientist, bestselling Author of the Digital Self Mastery series and Executive Producer of the Evolving Digital Self podcast. To book Dr. Forbes Öste to speak at your event or organization, contact Toby at: Toby(at)ChartwellSpeakers.com.
Dr. Forbes Öste recently explained that, when talking about the role of technology and humanity, "The anomaly is the norm, we now have the capability to design for it and take the human into process." In the past, technology was changing and developing so fast that the "human" factor was often an afterthought. The focus was on creating better, faster and more capable products, there wasn't a lot of attention given to "digital wellbeing" and what role technology should play in life overall. Forbes Öste added, "Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. Ethics should be part of the process when we design new technology."
After reading Dr. Forbes Öste's new bestselling book, Digital Self Mastery Across Generations, Michelle Kopper shared, "[This is a] total game change for my approach to technology! Finding balance to use the best parts of technology (instead of resisting them!) and finding my way to be in relationship with tech opened up a ton of possibilities for me to explore things that would make my life better and eliminated a lot of stress and pressure that I didn't even realize I had around tech!"
Through her speaking engagements, her bestselling book series and her podcast, Dr. Forbes Öste plans to lead the conversation on digital well-being into the new age of tech.
