Eps.6 ~ The cost of technology

Whoo! We are at Episode 6 of the Posturing for Health Podcast…

… wherein Bill continues from the last podcast about the price we pay - physically, emotionally, spiritually - in exchange for the convenience and safety of technology.

In this episode, we discuss:

~ How the words 'science’ and ‘technology’ are often used interchangeably, but are, in fact, not at all the same thing;

~ The various literal definitions of technology, which only one Bill most agrees with';

~ How Bill took up Gina’s challenge from the last episode, finding ways to reclaim physical movement that was outsourced to tech solutions;

~ Specific examples of ‘common disorders’, that may actually be the atrophying of our body’s functions.

*******

We also referenced a few resources for those who’d like to reclaim some of their own movement (and why it matters - not just to your body, but to the planet):

• “Movement Matters: Essays on Movement Science, Movement Ecology and the Nature of Movement (affiliate link)”, by Katy Bowman

• “How to Break Up with Your Phone”, by Catherine Price;

  ….. and her other tech relationship website:

• Screen/Life Balance

For resources pertaining specifically to raising tech-freer kids (and families!!):

• “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder”, by Richard Louv

• “Grow Wild: The Whole-Child, Whole-Family Nature-Rich Guide to Moving More (affiliate link)”, by Katy Bowman

• “Project Wild Thing” (A film AND a movement! One of Gina’s faves: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll kick your kids off the couch!)

We hope you enjoy! Feel free to share your comments below.
