Podcasts about smartphones

This week I'm joined by writer, broadcaster and mental health campaigner Natasha Devon.Natasha has spent nearly two decades working in schools, speaking to thousands of young people about everything from anxiety and perfectionism to social media, body image and friendship. In this episode, we get into what's really happening to the next generation, from the impact of smartphones and AI to why genuine human connection is becoming harder to find.We also talk about why banning social media might not be the answer, what parents are getting wrong, and why Natasha believes authenticity, not perfection, is what young people need most. We also chat about her brilliant new book, The Nuance Drought, which explores how we've lost the ability to have thoughtful, balanced conversations in an increasingly polarised world.Find Natasha:Website: https://www.natashadevon.com/Instagram: @_natashadevonBuy her books: https://www.natashadevon.com/booksStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodYouTube: youtube.com/@hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Da, suntem în recesiune tehnică: două trimestre la rând de scădere economică. Iar dacă vă întrebați cât mai avem până la junk, răspunsul lui Claudiu e incomod: dobânzile României sunt deja similare sau mai mari decât ale unor țări care sunt deja la junk. Investitorii mari nu așteaptă verdictul agențiilor de rating, își fac propria analiză. Iar dobânda reflectă cel mai sincer riscul perceput, pentru că cei care cumpără titluri de stat nu sunt proști. Cifrele pe care i le-am pus pe masă: inflație de 10,8% anual în mai 2026, servicii +13,5%, nealimentare +12,5%, alimente +6,8%. În același timp, salariul mediu net a scăzut cu 95 de lei față de martie, până la 5.843 de lei. Prețurile cresc double digit, veniturile scad. Concret, vom munci cu toții vreo 40 de zile în plus anul ăsta doar ca să cumpărăm aceleași lucruri ca anul trecut. IGDLCC înseamnă Informații Gratis despre Lucruri care Costă! Totul ne costă dar mai ales timpul așa că am făcut această serie pentru a mă informa și educa alături de invitați din domeniile mele de interes. Te invit alături de mine în această călătorie. Mi-am propus să mă facă mai informat și mai adaptat la schimbările care vin. Sper să o facă și pentru tine.

Značka Oppo už u nás není žádným nováčkem, ale teď pod sebe stahuje OnePlus i Realme a útočí na zavedené pořádky. Přemek osobně otestoval model Reno 16 Pro, který láká na hliníkovou konstrukci, křemíkovo-uhlíkovou baterii s obří výdrží a procesor, co se nezahřívá ani při letním pařáku. Je to konečně ta správná alternativa pro lidi, co už nechtějí Samsung ani Pixel, nebo má tahle stylovka moc sebevědomou cenovku?

Posséder son smartphone est-il encore le bon modèle ?Avec Olivier Dufour, cofondateur de BeeAlp, on parle du passage de la possession à l'usage.Comme dans la voiture, une nouvelle génération accepte de plus en plus l'idée de payer pour utiliser un objet, plutôt que de le posséder à tout prix.Pour BeeAlp, l'abonnement permet surtout de changer la responsabilité : le téléphone n'est plus abandonné à l'utilisateur une fois acheté.Il est repris, réparé, reconditionné, remis en circulation ou recyclé par l'entreprise.Un épisode pour comprendre pourquoi l'économie de la fonctionnalité peut devenir un vrai levier industriel.À l'animation :Solène Etienne, cofondatrice de FeuilleBlancheUn podcast conçu et produit par FeuilleBlanche, producteurs de médias, podcasts et récits stratégiques pour les marques.À vos écouteurs

ACT's David Seymour has floated the idea of a smartphone ban for under-16s to replace a social media ban, allowing teenagers to only use good old brick phones. Could this be a good alternative to the social media ban, or should this not be government decision? John Cowan joins Tim Beveridge for The Parenting Squad to discuss.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Tom Rath, one of the most respected researchers on wellbeing and human potential, author of What's the Point? Turning Your Purpose Into a Superpower. Tom argues that we can be incredibly busy while slowly drifting away from what matters most, optimizing our schedules while our lives quietly leak away. Andy and Tom explore why "follow your passion" can be harmful advice, how status seeking becomes career quicksand, and why our smartphones may be one of the greatest threats to purposeful living. They also discuss how many of us inherit ambitions from our parents that we never consciously chose, and how an honest awareness of mortality can sharpen our clarity, intentionality, and sense of purpose. Rather than treating purpose as one grand calling, Tom reframes it as something we create in small moments throughout the day. If you're looking for a practical, and honestly a little uncomfortable, guide to leading and living with more purpose, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Here's what I know with absolute certainty: you're wasting most of your day. Not because you're lazy, but because you've never asked the right question. You're so busy being busy that you've forgotten to ask why. You're optimizing your schedule while your life leaks away, hour by hour in meetings that don't matter and tasks that won't be remembered next week, let alone next year." "If you fail to do those things in a day and take that initiative and have those meaningful and purposeful conversations, and you put those off until tomorrow, tomorrow never really comes because we get into that responsive mode." "Passion by definition starts with you, and it's a little self-oriented, whereas I would argue purpose by definition has an other orientation to it, which is a much better idea for anchoring your energy in a day." "If you're not connecting back with the impact that it made on one person that day, it fails to kind of count in the way we motivate ourselves and think about our work on a daily basis." "I would argue that 90% of the purpose in life is built in those moments, not in some epiphany on a sunny day." "I would estimate that at least 80% of people, maybe 90%, make it all the way to the very end of their career in their life without ever seeing what they could have been best at in life." "Even as managers and leaders, if we don't take care of our own health and wellbeing first, we just have no shot at even being our best for other people that we manage." "There's always someone making twice as much as you or 10 times as much as you, and there's always somebody with more followers or more listeners or more readers or whatever it might be." "The eulogy virtues are about what am I doing today so I'll be a better dad, a better husband, a better friend, to help readers, to help people with the products I'm working on." "I would argue that 80% of people I see out in public today, out in the wild, are essentially working for their smartphone." "Their smartphone's running their life, and they're the ones salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs every time the darn thing blinks or buzzes or vibrates, right?" "Having your phone out sends an implicit message to the other person that the little black box on the table matters more than the other person, and it degrades the quality of the conversation." "The one thing we've all got in common is we have today to try and do some things that serve a purpose and help another person, and if you miss that opportunity, it's gone." "None of them, none of the headstones say anything about those kind of resume virtues that we were talking about."

This also happens to be the year the iPhone was introduced to the world by Apple.The less time people spend connecting in person, the less likely people are to have babies. But the question is can the reasoning really be that simple?The motto for justice in democratic countries is “innocent until proven guilty,” but what if it were the other way around?Algorithms and data analytics being used in policing raise troubling concerns about privacy, autonomy, and freedom.Guests:Hernan J.

What does it take to build healthcare technology that can make vital signs easier to capture, track, and use? In this episode of Entrepreneur Rx, host John Shufeldt sits down with Mitch Foster, founder and CEO of Mindset Medical, to discuss his career in healthcare, medical devices, robotics, and digital health. Mitch shares how his early work ethic and healthcare experience led him from orthopedic sales and executive leadership to building companies at the intersection of medicine and technology. The conversation explores Mitch's path through Merck, DeRoyal, Synthes, NuVasive, and Excelsius Surgical, the spine robotics company acquired by Globus Medical. Mitch reflects on lessons learned from mentors, physicians, strategic partners, and the experience of building and exiting a company before applying those lessons to Mindset Medical. The episode also looks at Mindset Medical's vision to turn the smartphone into a medical device. Mitch explains how the company evolved from digitizing patient intake to developing video-based vital sign technology, including FDA-cleared pulse rate and respiration rate tools, with a path toward non-contact blood pressure measurement. Beyond the technology, John and Mitch discuss telemedicine, rural healthcare, chronic disease management, entrepreneurship, resilience, founder traits, leadership under pressure, and building through pivots and setbacks. Mitch also shares advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: go for it, scenario plan, understand the sacrifice, and remember that time is the most valuable asset we have. About Mitch Foster: Mitch Foster is the founder and CEO of Mindset Medical and an experienced healthcare entrepreneur and medical device executive.

In many schools today, students hesitate to give class presentations. Not because of stage fright, but because they're afraid of being secretly recorded and mocked on social media. Principals across the country are spending their time managing the aftermath of incidents sparked by viral trends like "Ship or Dip" posts. Physical altercations between students are often filmed by bystanders and shared online, amplifying the harm. In this episode, Dr. Ruston visits a middle school in Washington State and sits down with Principal Zach to explore what happened when phones were allowed on campus and how things changed dramatically once new policies were put in place. Zach shares the powerful transformation his school has experienced, and how restorative practices are helping students learn healthier ways to resolve conflict.

The FCC will crack down on an action camera from DJI, but NOT on a plan to flood the Earth with light pollution from space mirrors. OpenAI keeps digging deeper into lawsuits, and now Apple is taking them to court. AI data centers are SURGING in power use, but a few areas are pushing back. SK Hynix expects the RAM crisis will get worse next year, as Samsung posts higher profit guidance after breaking records this year. Chinese courts allow for heirs to inherit game accounts. NVIDIA wants us to remember how much we used to like them, and thinks trading cards will win us back. And we have to chat about this FCC filing for the new Tensor G6 going into the Pixel 11.

Society is increasingly grappling with a growing dependence on the smartphones many of us carry with us every waking moment of our lives. It has led some to forgo them altogether. One of those people is Dr Alex Beattie, a Senior Lecturer in Information Management at Victoria University, whose research focuses on how society lives with, and disconnects from, digital technologies. He is half a year into his own experiment in living without a smartphone. Beattie spoke to John Campbell via his so-called dumbphone.

Naresh drives for Rapido. When his phone died, so did his income — for seven days, until he could borrow enough to replace it.Until 2024, India's biggest consumer lenders had turned that exact vulnerability into a recovery tool. Miss an EMI, lose your phone. It worked so well that smartphone lending grew from 1% to nearly 40% of consumer borrowing in three years. Then the RBI banned it. Lending collapsed by 80%. Delinquencies rose. Rejection rates hit 50%.Now the tool is coming back. This time with guardrails. The question is whether they're enough.*We want to get to know you a little better.

Smartphones are disrupting kids' relationships, depersonalizing sexuality, drawing away their affections, and influencing their beliefs – but we can't very well ask our elders how they dealt with these problems in their day. Kevin talks with Phillip Telfer, author of "Help! The Smartphone Ate My Family" about surviving the digital age as a parent. They discuss the importance of guardrails, rules, awareness, conversations, and escape routes…and the methods Phillip himself has used to keep his kids safe.

Immer mehr Menschen legen in Sachen Smartphone ein Suchtverhalten an den Tag. Und auch ohne echte Abhängigkeit fällt es vielen von uns schwer, das Smartphone nicht mehrere Stunden am Tag in der Hand zu halten. Ob Instagram oder Whatsapp: Für viele spielt sich der Großteil der Freizeit auf dem Handy ab. Wie gelingt es, sein Smartphone öfter einmal zur Seite zu legen? Und wann ist man womöglich wirklich süchtig nach dem kleinen Screen? Darum geht es in dieser Folge "Besser Leben".

Deze aflevering hebben we het over banken! Over ABN Amro en over Unicredit (en daarmee automatisch over Commerzbank). ABN wordt hard op de vingers getikt, Unicredit kan gewoon zijn gang gaan. ABN moet een boete betalen, Unicredit blijft juist miljoenen uitgeven aan een overname waar de andere bank niet op zit te wachten. We hebben het over die boete van ABN. Die is er omdat ze (alweer) steken laten vallen met de controle op witwassen. Er zijn erge fouten gemaakt, zegt toezichthouder DNB. Alleen beleggers maken zich er totaal niet druk om. Is dat terecht? Hoor je ook over Unicredit. Dat heeft inmiddels 48 procent van Commerzbank in handen. Waarmee ze in feite alle macht hebben op aandeelhoudersvergaderingen. We kijken wanneer de overname er is. Ook of we nu een overnamegolf in bankenland kunnen verwachten. Verder gaat het ook nog over het massaontslag bij Volkswagen. Het was vandaag erop of eronder voor de ceo. Hij moet dat immense ontslag proberen te verkopen bij de kritische raad van commissarissen. Te gast: Jean Paul van Oudheusden van Markets are Everywhere BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
