Description:
Phones can be a great tool for connecting with people outside the room, when they don’t interfere with the people inside the room.
You can dare to be relationally different in a screen-to-screen culture.
But. . .honestly, I like my phone. So what should I do?
You probably enjoy screens but don’t want them hurting your relationships with the people who matter most, right? What if you could improve your face-to-face relationships, develop deeper connections, resolve conflict, and confidently communicate with friends, parents, teachers, roommates, coworkers, potential employers…even the barista at your local coffee shop?
What if your phone truly helped you connect with the people more than disconnect with those around you?
What if you paused to think before you posted, avoiding some of the hurt and consequences that almost always lead to regret after?
What if you became a master of your own screen-time instead of letting it master you?
What if you became more screen-wise?
40 real-life realizations including. . .
* Your phone doesn’t have an UNSEND button.
* Sometimes less is more.
* We all need a digital detox every once in a while.
* Sometimes the people we love the most are the people we ignored all day.
* If you find someone who doesn’t look at their phone once during a meal…marry them!
Author and youth culture expert, Jonathan McKee, and his daughter Alyssa McKee, uncover forty random realizations they’ve discovered over the last five years. Screens provide fun platforms to connect with faraway friends; and sometimes the people we love the most are the people we ignore all day. Jonathan and Alyssa help young adults navigate face-to-face communication in a screen-to-screen world too! Maybe they’ll help you navigate face-to-face communication in a screen-to-screen world too!
在“屏幕对屏幕”的时代，重新学习人与人真实的连接
手机可以成为连接远方朋友的好工具——前提是，它没有妨碍你与身边人的关系。
我们喜欢手机，也享受社交媒体和各种屏幕带来的便利，但怎样才能使用科技，而不是反过来被科技控制？怎样才能在享受网络世界的同时，仍然拥有健康、深入而真实的人际关系？
作者及青少年文化专家 Jonathan McKee 与女儿 Alyssa McKee 透过 40 个贴近现实生活的提醒，帮助青少年和年轻人重新思考自己与手机、社交媒体以及身边人的关系。
本书帮助年轻读者学习：
- 如何改善面对面的沟通能力，与朋友、父母、老师、同学、室友和同事建立更深入的关系
- 如何处理人际冲突，并更有信心地与别人沟通
- 在发布信息或社交媒体内容之前，学习先停下来思考，避免因为一时冲动而造成伤害和后悔
- 学习管理自己的屏幕时间，而不是让手机和网络控制自己的生活
- 在享受网络连接的同时，不忽略就在自己身边、真正重要的人
- 培养使用科技和社交媒体所需要的智慧、自制与分辨力
书中以轻松幽默的方式提出许多实际提醒，例如：
“你的手机没有‘撤回人生后果’的按钮。”
“有时候，少一点反而更好。”
“每个人偶尔都需要一次 Digital Detox（数码排毒）。”
“有时候，我们最爱的人，反而是我们一整天最容易忽略的人。”
本书并不是主张青少年完全远离手机或社交媒体，而是帮助他们学习成为一个更加 “screen-wise”——懂得智慧使用屏幕的人：让科技成为帮助我们与人连接的工具，而不是让它逐渐取代真实的人际关系。
很适合今天经常使用手机、社交媒体和网络的青少年及年轻人阅读，也可以作为父母与孩子讨论健康科技使用习惯和人际关系的起点。
