About this listen

At a time when the world is changing fast, when social media facilitates and accelerates an exponential acceleration of everything... it's time to Hit Pause. Join me to discuss and think about our world... the morals of technology, the philosophy of our modern times. It's time to slow down, to reflect, to take a journey inside ourselves. "Know thyself and thou shall know the Universe and the Gods", said Socrates. Executive in the Silicon Valley, citizen of the world, I ponder, wonder, to find inside the path to what's next outside. Welcome. Time to Hit Pause.

  • S2E5 - In conversation with Caroline Naito: "Everything is Sign"
    Nov 26 2020

    After discovering a bit about Jean Piaget and his child psychology theories, it is time to listen to someone who knows best: a mother. Caroline Naito is a mother in the Silicon Valley, on the frontlines of raising two girls, in this age of social media, new technologies and new challenges. We listen to her, her life wisdom, and discover through her eyes the story of two beautiful souls trying to make sense of this new world. We ponder about education, children sign language, the joy of making new neuronal connections and the social media addiction of young adults.

We turn to Jean Piaget, renowned child psychologist to learn and reflect on how WE learned. We ponder what it takes to learn, as adults, and we trace a few ideas about those extraordinary times where kids are learning, with and through social media, novel ways of thinking, being and behaving.
