Hit Pause

At a time when the world is changing fast, when social media facilitates and accelerates an exponential acceleration of everything... it's time to Hit Pause. Join me to discuss and think about our world... the morals of technology, the philosophy of our modern times. It's time to slow down, to reflect, to take a journey inside ourselves. "Know thyself and thou shall know the Universe and the Gods", said Socrates. Executive in the Silicon Valley, citizen of the world, I ponder, wonder, to find inside the path to what's next outside. Welcome. Time to Hit Pause.

    S2E5 - In conversation with Caroline Naito: "Everything is Sign"

    After discovering a bit about Jean Piaget and his child psychology theories, it is time to listen to someone who knows best: a mother. Caroline Naito is a mother in the Silicon Valley, on the frontlines of raising two girls, in this age of social media, new technologies and new challenges. We listen to her, her life wisdom, and discover through her eyes the story of two beautiful souls trying to make sense of this new world. We ponder about education, children sign language, the joy of making new neuronal connections and the social media addiction of young adults.

    S2E4 - About the joy of learning the meaning of the sound "cat"

    In our continued voyage through the human psyche, we explore the joy of learning, and phases a baby, a child goes through as they learn. We turn to Jean Piaget, renowned child psychologist to learn and reflect on how WE learned. We ponder what it takes to learn, as adults, and we trace a few ideas about those extraordinary times where kids are learning, with and through social media, novel ways of thinking, being and behaving.

    S2E2 - Human needs, babies' needs, and social media

    In this second reverie of the second season, we go back to babies. For they are the foundation of who we are, as individuals, as society. We explore their core needs, and why those shape the foundation of a human psyche, and thus, of the social fabric, and social media.

    S1E12 - A preview of Season 2 - voyage into the Human Psyche

    In this last episode of Season 1, we trace the path for the format changes of season 2... with interviews, a dialog, and a descent into the themes of the human mind and psyche. If the media we consume and create also changes us, there is a connection between who we are and how we exchange and communicate. What drives a human being? What fundamental forces shape and animate a psyche? Join me to wrap-up this first season of HIT PAUSE.

    S1E11 - From social media addiction to a sense of inner boundaries

    As we approach the end of Season 1 of HIT PAUSE, I reflect on my personal media usage; on the countless studies which have studied and proven its addictive nature. And we trace the path for a sense of direction about the future of social media: the creation of inner boundaries. This requires time, silence, turning off the onslaught of the media stream, to find within the inner filters, and give us distance. Time, silence, boundaries. We get closer to the themes of Season 2.

    S1E10 - Looking into the mirror: do we have a role to play to tame the social media golem?

    Social media was made for us, by us, humans.  It's thus only fair that we look at ourselves. From early investors to public investors, from public investors to end users, we are social media. It was designed to be addictive, and tap into our psyche's subconscious substrate and core behavioral patterns. Are we aware of it?  How do I process my own rapport to it?  How do you?
