Crown Distinguished Lecture | Tech Expert Cal Newport
In this talk, Georgetown computer science professor and bestselling author Cal Newport draws from his three most recent books, Deep Work (2016), Digital Minimalism (2019), and A World Without Email (2021), to examine the critical collisions of technology and society that led us into this current Age of Distraction. He leverages a nuanced understanding of how new tools upended our relationship with our own attention to explore solutions that work.
