## Resource

Smartphones were designed to make life easier. But have they made it harder to concentrate, think deeply and simply be present? In this episode of Right2BWrong, we explore how smartphones have transformed the way we communicate, work and consume information while potentially turning our attention into the most valuable commodity of all. From endless scrolling and social media notifications to the constant need to check, swipe and refresh, are smartphones tools of convenience… or weapons of mass distraction? And if the product is free, are we the product? Join the conversation as we examine whether our smartphones are making us more connected, or simply more distracted. -- Right2BWrong Podcast website Right2BWrong Pty Ltd. © Copyright Right2BWrong
