3 habits to practice curiosity — and escape your phone | Nayeema Raza

Nayeema Raza, journalist and podcast host, questions the impact of social media, digital life, and AI on our lives, advocating for a pro-human approach rather than an anti-tech one. She highlights a paradox observed by 11-year-olds: people feel more connected online than in person due to phone distractions during physical gatherings. Raza suggests three habits to combat digital disconnection: pausing before reaching for devices, embracing curiosity over instant information, and asking questions aloud to foster genuine connection. Drawing from personal experience, she emphasizes the importance of presence, curiosity, and connection, especially in moments of profound significance, and urges the practice of these habits to pass them on to younger generations.
