Synopsis
Face it you’re probably an addict. A slave to your tech. Hopelessly glued to your screen from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed. You’ve been systematically programmed to become an addict by an army of expert technology companies, who are making vast profits from the time you spend on their products. And, this addiction is taking a huge toll on our mental and physical wellbeing. But it’s time to wake up and regain your humanity.
Guiding you through the matrix of tech addiction is host Dr Kim Le, a former gaming addict turned clinical psychologist. Kim will pull back the curtain to reveal how and why these companies want you addicted to their products, as well as arming you with the knowledge and techniques to take back control. And, through a series of one on one interactive consultations he’ll assess your level of dependence and tell you whether you control your technology or if your technology controls you!

“That’s what I would like this interactive project to be, a first step for our viewers on a journey to regain control”
I hope our survey and the interactivity that powers it connects with each individual on a more personal level than a traditional documentary to cut through the noise and the distraction and make people think.
– Darren Hutchinson, Producer
