Abstract

Introduction: Digital technologies have completely transformed the way humans work, communicate, and socialize over the last three decades. Human beings are now completely dependent on their digital devices to interact with the world. That transformation has not come without challenges. Digital technologies have impacted the mental well-being of humans like no other technology before it has done.

Methodology: The book chapter examined the complex relationship between the digital world and how it is impacting the mental well-being of individuals. The preceding chapters present both pros and cons of the digital era with regard to brain health as well as policy recommendations.

Conclusion: Digital technologies have the potential to provide solutions to the most pressing questions humanity is facing today. The perfect balance will require moderation and oversight when interacting with the digital world.
