Dr. Harts gives listeners an inside scoop on how PHSC leveraged technology to drive a more positive student experience while maintaining personal interactions.

Missed Part I? Click here. Continuing last week's conversation, in this episode Dr. Newport delves into two things that have become ubiquitous in our lives: texting and email. Whether it is logistical texts with our kids or emails for work, these two technologies can occupy a large portion of our days. Indeed, even a quick text or email can cost us time, as we shift our attention between different contexts.  While texting and email may by now feel like second nature, have we ever stopped to think about how best to use these technologies? In addition to tackling these topics, Cal runs through three practices to help us better spend that treasure which is our time:  Practice solitude Quit socials to foster authentic conversations Reclaim true leisure To close, Cal offers some words of wisdom to our graduating seniors, as they head off to college. If they can learn to use technology well, in an integrated and intentional way, they will be at a tremendous advantage. Their time will double, their focus sharpen, and--what is more--they'll form meaningful friendships along the way.  Show Highlights  The necessity of times of solitude and self-reflection Why you should quit social media and become truly social Reclaim leisure to live more meaningful lives How to integrate texting into a purposeful life What psychology and brain science can teach about texting What the pandemic has shown us about the dual nature of technology The human brain is not a parallel processor and why this matters How companies can better use email to improve workflows The attention capital principle  What graduating seniors can learn to make the most of technology in college--and beyond. Suggested Reading Leisure: The Basis of Culture Digital Minimalism A World Without Email  Additional Listening Forming Deep Workers, Part I Forming Deep Workers, Part II

For these next two episodes, we welcome back Dr. Cal Newport, professor of computer science at Georgetown University and New York Times bestselling author of seven books, including Digital Minimalism and A World Without Email. In this week's episode, we will focus on the first of these two books, Digital Minimalism, and how to go about developing a deliberate and purposeful approach to our use of technology. And remember, our children are always watching and learning. In next week's episode, we'll dive into a specific application of this philosophy to email and texting as well. But for now, Digital Minimalism. It has been said in other contexts that the choice is not between philosophy and no philosophy, but between good philosophy and bad philosophy; having no philosophy is itself a philosophy, albeit a disastrous one. The same holds true for our philosophy or approach to technology which, although often vital in the modern world, can be dangerous if used mindlessly. In this episode: Learn about the history and psychology of smartphones and social media. Listen to Cal discuss his philosophy of digital minimalism. Hear about the thirty day “digital declutter” and why you should try it for yourselves--maybe even this July? Gain some practical wisdom about implementing the philosophy in your homes including Cal's take on when our sons are ready for their first smart phone. In all, Cal offers us a hopeful view for the future. With the shimmer of novelty beginning to fade, now is the time to think about how to integrate digital technology into our lives and into the lives of our children.

To think people used to carry around massive "mobile" phones and now we're figuring out new ways to make technology smaller, sleeker, and more user friendly than ever! This week we'll be talking a look at what lies ahead for personal tech.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/whatliesaheadpodcast)

Securing a president's personal technology is no easy task! by Nick Espinosa, Chief Security Fanatic

Walt Mossberg isn’t just a titan of journalism, he’s every bit as iconic and transformative as many of the products he's reviewed. From 1991 to 2013, he was the personal technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Alongside Kara Swisher, Walt also hosted the All Things D conference, which brought some of the biggest names in tech to the stage, separately and together. In 2014, Walt and Kara went off on their own and launched Recode, which they sold to Vox Media in 2015. Walt retired in July of 2017 and, since then, Walt has been devoting his time to causes like the News Literacy Project. Then, and now, what’s impressed me most about Walt, what made me want to be more like Walt, is how he bridged the gap between technology and people. How he deliberately avoided jargon, or buzzwords, or speaking over anyone’s head but also never talked down to anyone either. Never made them feel excluded. On the contrary. In an industry now over-swarming with geeks and tech-heads, Walt kept things relatable too everyone. And I just had to ask him how that all came about.

With the exception of that one episode about the Tour de France, we haven't done a lot of sports here on Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b.
