People believe digital technologies will produce more help than harm in people\u00b4s lives.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Technology is everywhere, and undoubtedly, it has shaped the way we do just about anything, but how does that go for our well-being?<\/p>\n

Data from a Pew Research Center investigation<\/a> revealed that Americans believe digital technology is a good thing in their lives, however, over the past 18 months, concerns about personal and social impacts have been on the rise.<\/p>\n

In light of these mounting concerns, Pew Research Center and Elon University\u2019s Imagining the Internet Center queried technology experts, scholars and health specialists on this question:<\/p>\n

Over the next decade, how will changes in digital life impact people\u2019s overall well-being physically and mentally?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As 1,150 experts were interviewed, 47% of them predicted individuals\u00b4 well-being will be more helped than harmed by digital life in the next decade, while 32% say the life of people and their well-being will be more harmed than helped. 21% believe there will not be much change.<\/p>\n
