A City Club Virtual Forum
The Schubert Center is serving as a Community Partner for The City Club's free virtual forum with Jim Steyer, Founder and CEO of Common Sense Media, and Julie Lythcott-Haims, author of Which Side of History?: How Technology Is Reshaping Democracy and Our Lives.
As our lives are increasingly controlled and organized by smartphones and apps and our relationships maintained on social media, discussions about the impact of technology on our privacy, kids and families, race and gender roles, and democracy have taken on new urgency. What are the costs of this constant interaction with technology, both on an individual level and as a society?
Steyer and Lythcott-Haims discuss technology's impact on modern parenting and parents' ability to raise the next generation of independent and resilient adults.
