Targets: Sustainable, strong, healthy social ties between people are the solution to many problems of humanity, including problems of security, inclusivity, preservation of mental and physical health, especially children and adolescents, old people and people from disadvantaged segments of the population. Digital technologies can harm and isolate a person if you do not monitor the balance of real and virtual life, and observe digital hygiene. We have to take care of that technologies bring maximum benefit to people, not turning them off from the streams of real life, but enriching it.
Is the format of a live dialogue: a short video (2 min) and intro from the speaker, the question to audience, the answer from one of attendee (online or offline) and comment from speaker. And so for. After open dialogues (few questions and answers and comments) the speaker will go to conclusion.
Is the format of a live dialogue (intro-question-answer-comment) supposed to be about how far we have distanced ourselves from real life and the truth, being constantly online amid the chaos of content, fakes and truth, anonymous accounts, metavers, games, virtual offices and shops, virtual classrooms? As technologies and corporations, expressing their intention to take care of the maximum comfort of our lives have brought us closer to an antisocial lifestyle and loneliness. This light conversation aims to help all of us, taking advantage of all the benefits of the Internet, use the time spent online to be closer to each other and human communication, and not live in our own digital bubble.
We will accept questions and comments from online participants. We plan the session so that participants and listeners have the opportunity to have an open dialogue and present their opinions. After this session, we will use all communication resources to spread the polarity of opinions and the most interesting statements and thoughts. If there is such a technical opportunity, we want to show a short video before the discussion begins.
