Maggie Jackson is back with a new edition of her book, with new data and looking at our new relationship to the machines that surround our life. While there are more distractions than ever the good news is we’re more aware of it as a culture and that’s the first step in winning some of our attention back. Maggie Jackson is an award-winning author and journalist who writes the popular “Balancing Acts” column in the Boston Globe. Her work also has appeared in the New York Times and on National Public Radio, among other national publications. Her acclaimed first book, What’s Happening to Home?
