The Quicky Emergency Fuel Summit & The Greatest Threat To Your Love Life
Technological advances rarely arrive without trade-offs, and now our smartphones are back under the microscope with claims they are fundamentally changing the way we fall in love.
From 'phubbing' your partner to forming attachment-style bonds with your device, we investigate how constant notifications might be interfering with our ability to form deep human connections.
We speak with psychologist Carly Dober and sex-and-relationship therapist Lisa Torney to find out if your phone is acting like a 'significant other' and how we can stay intimately connected in a digital world.
