You're listening to TED Talks Daily, where we bring you new ideas to spark your curiosity every day.

I'm your host, Elise Hu.

Screens have reshaped our lives in such profound ways that some days it feels like online happenings feel more real than real life.

When we are together physically, we are each alone on our phones.

But when we're in our phones, that's when we can be together.

That's Naima Raza, journalist, podcast host, and self-described dumb questions advocate.

In today's talk, she questions how social media, digital life, and AI tools might be hijacking our lives.

But instead of looking at the problem through an anti-tech lens...

She looks at it with a pro-human one.

Naima makes the case for the return of three practical habits to reconnect with that actually matter in our lives, both for ourselves and for younger generations.

And stick around afterwards.

I sat down with Naima to go beyond her talk.
