When children struggle to unwind — and adults do too.
In the evening, “just a few minutes” easily turns into an hour. By morning, many children and teenagers are exhausted — and attention and focus are lacking at school.
In daily life, it looks like this:
- Inner restlessness instead of presence
- Continuous distraction instead of focused learning
- Phone-related conflict instead of connection
- Overstimulation instead of recovery
This is where traditional media education and rule-setting often prove insufficient. The core issue is not the devices, but the content ecosystems, platform architectures, and behavioral design strategies built to capture attention, trigger emotional responses, and encourage compulsive use.
Mindful Tech and Meida addresses precisely this reality.
What This Talk Is Really About
Get Clear with Technology and Media is not a conventional lecture. It is an artistically crafted, experience-centered format that connects insight with direct experience.
Participants are actively engaged through short interactive sequences, moments of stillness, simple mindfulness practices, open exchange, and space for dialogue and questions.
The talk is built around three core perspectives:
Understanding how digital media affects us
- Digital content ecosystems and UX design are engineered to capture and retain attention.
- Algorithms, reward architectures, and overstimulation foster compulsive patterns of use.
- Participants gain clarity on the impact on focus, emotional regulation, physical well-being, and social behavior.
- Objective: making the dynamics of digital influence transparent and understandable.
2. Building Inner Resilience
- Health-related risk factors are explained and contextualized.
- Inner work, conscious nutrition, movement, body-based practices, and restorative sleep are presented as core regulatory resources for everyday life.
- Participants gain practical insight into how lasting behavioral change can be initiated.
- Objective: building sustainable inner resilience through the strengthening of body, mind, and emotional balance.
3. Creator Mindset – From Consumer to Creator
- Taking creative initiative and actively shaping one’s own learning and development journey.
- Artistic, practical, and embodied activities as tangible, empowering experiences.
- Growth through active creation instead of passive consumption.
- A grounded and sustainable way of living rooted in purpose, self-leadership, and genuine presence.
