World first interactive documentary Are You Addicted to Technology? from WA production company Joined Up and SA’s Closer Productions, will be broadcast exclusively on SBS On Demand from April 21.
Face it, you’re a slave to tech. Glued to your screen from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed, you’ve slipped into the grip of the Big Tech companies who have no intention of letting up your profitable screen time and endless scrolling.
World first interactive documentary Are You Addicted to Technology? invites audiences to go on a journey of enlightenment to discover how concerned we should be about our relationship with technology by offering a personalised investigation into the user’s own dependency with technology through an interactive survey built into the documentary.
Are You Addicted to Technology? is a Closer Productions and Joined Up Films production for SBS. Principal production investment from Screen Australia in association with SBS. Financed with support from Screenwest and Lotterywest, and the South Australian Film Corporation.
Commissioned by SBS and instigated by Joined Up and Closer Productions, the largest national survey of its kind was carried out by Dr. Sharon Horwood, Senior Lecturer at Deakin University’s School of Psychology, to capture the extent of technology addiction in 2021.
