The Comfort of Screens: Moving into post-digital times<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the pandemic, screens occupy a Janus-faced presence in our lives. On one side, screens resurrect images of craning necks watching small boxes in zoom meetings and on the other side they rekindle memories of binge-watching our favourite series. A post-digital perspective allows researchers to consider ways that the digital shape our lives, encouraging a greater appreciation and understanding of the ways that technologies pervade everyday lives. Post-digital ways of being and thinking are the lived practices that people engage in all of the time that are often taken-for-granted. In this presentation, I will feature an interview study with 17 people who live on the same crescent who generously shared their thoughts about their screen lives. Applying post-digital theory (Burnett & Merchant, 2020; Macgilchrist, 2021), I will share my initial findings from the interview conversations and invite audience reflections, provocations, and wisdom for their implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
