Depending on smartphones and computers for work and play is the norm, but Adam Alter uses his Ted Talk to explain how all of this dependency is actually making people less happy. As a psychologist, hes studied just how much time people stare at their screens during the day, and how statistically less happy they are because of that time. Whats more, though, is that Alter explains how to change this part of your life, and increase the satisfaction in your life.
