Technology Touchpoints easily avoids the lure of a negative and depressing analysis of kids absorbed into their smartphones, etc. and offers a broadly thoughtful perspective along with elements of hope for constructively navigating technology and social media with all of its pitfalls and potential. Exquisitely weaving in references to multiple psychological and developmental theories and constructs along with her personal observations, Dr. Brady seriously explores parallels of human and technology development without becoming overly pedantic.--Randy Schroeder, M.Ed.; Board of Directors, New England Educational Opportunity Association Technology Touchpoints is a compelling book that movingly weaves Brady's own stories of raising five children in the iPhone era with a keen sociological and psychological analysis of how tech has changed our families and our lives. Readable and engaging, the book will be of interest to parents who are trying to navigate the pressures and temptations of video games, social media, and other technology, as well as those interested in understanding the dramatic technological changes of the last fifteen years.--Sherry Hamby, Ph.D., Founder of ResilienceCon and Research Professor of Psychology, University of the South Exploring the intersection of human development, psychology, learning, and digital technology, Loretta Brady offers touchpoints for children, parents, families, educators, and policy makers to safely navigate the digital age. She critically examines the potential of digital tools to ignite or extinguish human relationships, communication, and connection, and offers a call to action for the best possible outcomes in our technology-mediated lives.--Chip Donohue, PhD, Founding director of the TEC Center at Erikson Institute and Senior fellow of the Fred Rogers Center
