We are living in a growing digital age in which content is continuous and silence is seldom. Social media alone exemplifies the perpetual expectation for us to feel something with every stimulus: one post showing a climate catastrophe, the next showing your friends at the beach, and the next showing a weight loss advertisement. In his TEDxUSC Talk, Nicolo Betoni addresses the issues with this immense amount of content we consume and how it has led us to become desensitized to the world around us. To combat this overstimulation, Nicolo explores the idea of sensory deprivation and the healing role that silence plays for our minds and bodies.
