Growing Up Online: AI, Algorithms & Recovering Your Attention | Chris Rogers
Description
What does it mean to grow up human in a world engineered to constantly capture your attention? Chris Rogers (Rh Chris), educator, speaker, worship leader, and recovery coach, helps young people navigate the complicated reality of growing up online in the age of AI, endless simulations, and algorithm-driven content.
In this timely conversation, Chris shares:
• Why he got into this work — his own experience with compulsive online behavior as a teen
• How the digital age is changing the way young people think, feel, and relate to themselves
• The identity challenge of living under constant social media expectations
• Overstimulation, FOMO, and the pressure to always be “on”
• Practical tools for recovery, self-awareness, and digital resilience
• How parents and young people can have shame-free conversations about online struggles
