TPP 04: How Technology Affects Us & The Relationship between Habitual Learning and Success with Jeff Bogaczyk

Jeff Bogaczyk has a PHD in Rhetoric, (Concentration in Interpersonal Communication and Rhetoric of Technology) blogger at mindforlife.org and podcast host of the Mind For Life podcast. He is particularly interested in personal development and the intersection between our thoughts and actions.    He states "that we usually respond the way we have been "taught". Our brains have been “programmed” to respond in these instances based upon the past experiences in our lives. In other words, our environment has taught us how to respond simply by experiencing things and events.     The good news is that we can change our default thinking patterns by establishing intentional, productive thinking processes in our life.  Recent research into our cognitive development has shown that our brains have a quality called neuroplasticity.  This basically means that our brains, our thinking patterns, our thought processes are still mold-able and can be adjusted and improved.    In this episode you"ll learn:    Conversation around technology - is it good? is it bad?
