Communication comprises a set of skills involving visual and verbal elements—how we look, what we do, and what we say. The opening lesson, First Impressions (2.1), captures the impact of our initial meeting with others, when we often make split-second decisions about who they are as people (Willis & Todorov, 2006; Lees, 2012). And how it can be difficult for teens to break through to each other when they are staring at their phone screens and conveying cryptic information about themselves electronically. Reviving Digital Zombies (2.2) explores the upside and downside of high-tech immersion and how to manage it for best use. Left unchecked, excessive use of technology can encourage distracted and addictive behavior (Small & Vorgan, 2008), and lead to depressive symptoms (Davila, et al., 2012) and a decrease in empathy (Konrath, et al., 2011).
