Techno-stress: Navigating the impact of technology on our lives

In this talk from #BrightonSEO, we explore one of the most pervasive yet underestimated stressors of our digital age: Technostress.
Through the lens of neuroscience and psychology, we uncover how constant digital engagement impacts our attention, memory, emotional regulation, and overall mental well-being.

You’ll learn:
- Why your brain craves digital stimulation (hello dopamine!)
- How cognitive overload, multitasking, and ‘always-on’ culture affect performance (the role of cortisol!)
- What technostress looks like — from sleep disruption to emotional fatigue
- And most importantly, practical strategies to reset your brain and build a healthier digital diet

Whether you're a marketer, creative, or tech enthusiast, this session offers fresh insights on how to protect your brain in a hyper-connected world.
