Thinking in a Digital World

We’re surrounded by digital devices—from phones and tablets to streaming platforms and social media. With so many options at our fingertips, each of us faces choices about when and how to use technology in ways that align with our goals and values. In this talk, Kristy Hamilton, Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at UCSB, shares research on how digital media shapes the way we see ourselves and, in turn, influences our everyday technology use. Hamilton uses experimental methods to study the strengths and challenges of human memory and cognition in digital environments, with the aim of helping people become more effective thinkers in today’s media landscape.
