The Digital Dilemma

Society has recently been challenged by an increasing concern regarding the compulsive and excessive use of digital devices through the abuse of social media, online video gaming, online pornography, cyberbullying and associated risks and harms. This has become even more evident in the recent periods of social isolation during lockdown and following the Covid pandemic, during which the direct effects of digital overexposure were seen, firsthand in every household.

Dormant concerns about the digital world and overexposure thereto, were acutely realized and we are now faced with the devastating reality in dealing with the consequences thereof.

This book not only addresses these issues in detail, but also explains addiction from a unique perspective, identifying the core root of a wounded identity, the effect thereof on spirit, soul and body and provides guidelines and solutions to these problems. By approaching these issues from a uniquely epistemological, statistical, theological, and spiritual perspective, as well as personal experience, the authors create a holistically driven, objective, and revelatory point of view in how these pressing issues can be successfully addressed and rehabilitated.

Guiding parents, youth and children to become active, ethical participants in a complex, digitally mediated world, is key to ensuring the next generation’s success. This means equipping them with the spiritual foundation, skills, and capabilities to engage in communities responsibly and constructively, both online and offline. What skills do children need to do that? How can we balance digital opportunities with risks? And importantly, how can education help?
