Editorial: Positive Technology: Designing E-experiences for Positive Change

While there is little doubt that our lives are becoming increasingly digital, whether this change for the better or for the worse is far from being settled. Rather, over the past years concerns the personal and social impacts of technologies have been growing, fueled by dystopian scenarios that almost on daily basis are generously dispensed by major Western media . According to a recent poll involving some 1,150 experts, 47% of respondents predict that ’ well-being will bemore helped than harmed by digital life in the next decade, while 32% people’s well-being will bemore harmed than helped. Only 21% of those surveyed indicated that impact of technologies on people well-being will be negligible compared to now (Pew Research , 2018).
