Are we the masters of technology, or have we become its unwitting servants? Furthermore, what risks are we exposing ourselves to as we become exponentially connected?

This week, I'm exploring the heart of our modern dilemma: the pervasive overreliance on technology and the risks of constant connection. As we navigate through the digital age, the fine line between leveraging technology for our benefit and being ensnared by it becomes increasingly blurred.

To help me navigate the dialogue, I'll be joined by cybersecurity expert David Adeoye Abodunrin. We dig into the exponential rise of connectedness and how our focus on security has not kept pace. You'll learn how this seemingly innocuous problem can have catastrophic consequences. It's not a matter of if you suffer the consequences but when.

That said, we wanted to do more than scare people straight. We laid out clear and actionable steps that will have a meaningful impact that doesn't include throwing away all your tech and moving off the grid. There's no escaping the exponentially rising tech in the air, but we can learn how to safely swim in it.

So, join us as we dissect the intricate web of digital dependence and discuss actionable strategies to reclaim our autonomy, enhance our real-world interactions, and find a harmonious balance in a tech-saturated world. Show Notes:
