This inquiry explored the rapidly evolving landscape of human experience with respect to
technology, particularly screen based media communications technology and its effects
on health and wellness. Specific effects of screen media examined were: interpersonal
relations, screen media addictions, brain function, and screen time and children.
Philosophically, the study counterbalanced a tech-saturated worldview with concepts of
wellness that have found expression in two twenty-first century contemporaries, Jeanne
Roy, co-founder of the Center for Earth Leadership, and Dan Beuttner, originator of The
Blue Zones study. Their models of wellness provided a springboard to expand upon the
concept of generativity as optimum healing approach to techfluenza, a term that emerged
out of this thesis study.
