In the era of digitalisation, we find ourselves relying on technology as the main method of communication, entertainment, and education. Our lives are so heavily dependent on social media and smartphones, but this has both positive and negative consequences. Professor Gentzkow will explore this idea in his new research using field experiments and share his insights into understanding the impact of social media and smartphones on our lives.
