Amy Orben is a Oxford University lecturer and psychology researcher who has been looking at the effects of social media and other technologies on well-being and human sociality. In a yet sparsely researched area, she uses data-driven and experimental methodologies to investigate the changes caused by technological innovations, questioning popular assumptions and outdated statistical techniques. She speaks to Jim Mora about the concerns and agonising parents do over how much screen time youngsters should have and the confused space between how important digital connectivity is for their futures and the need for them to interact face to face.
