Justia CLE & Webinars | Shackled to Our Screens: How Technology Has Imprisoned the Legal Profession

When you think about how you spend your time nowadays, what do you imagine? Eight hours a day, five days a week where you are looking at a screen for just about the whole time? But what about the hours after? Are you sitting in front of a TV or computer when you are home and during the weekends? Are we, in essence, simply perpetually shackled to our screens?

Approximate Read Time: 2 Minutes

In the decades since television, computers, and most crucially, the internet was invented, we have seen a rise in dependence on the screens in front of us. Even more so, we have seen a correlation between the rise of screen dependence with the decline of mental health. In a job that constantly asks that you stay on your toes, the prevalence of mental health challenges and rates of substance abuse continues to climb, and the ever fervent dependency on the screen rather than the world outside our windows does not help.

If you would like to know more about what you can do to give yourself that “hard reset” and a few tips and tricks to navigate a technologically dependent world while still prioritizing your wellness, sign up for our free, upcoming Justia Webinar today!
