"Very eye opening and intentional experience that has given me a lot of insight on how I want my relationship with tech to be going forward. Also got a lot of absolutely game-changing resources that streamlined parts of my life I have been dissatisfied with or putting off, like creative projects I’ve wanted to pursue for a long time. The course unlocked my potential in a lot of ways."

-Mahika Singhal

 

"The course definitely exceeded my expectations. A lot of the information was really insightful, and I've thought a good amount about how I can improve my habits with technology. I would encourage anyone to enroll because I feel like everyone spends too much time on technology. I barely use any social media now, but I still watch a good amount of YouTube (which I still want to reduce). I've been more productive recently. I've reduced the amount that I multitask, and I try to focus on one thing at a time."

"I think my info 98 experience was amazing. I knew I had a problem with technology but this class really actually taught me how to tackle that addiction. Lots of people with unhealthy relationships don’t even realize it, but this class teaches you that it’s okay and that it’s changeable. I’ve learned to not rely on my phone in stressful situations and how to handle stress and reflections in a healthy manner. These changes helped me become more efficient in schoolwork and actually gave me so much more free time than I had before. I now have time to do the things I actually want to do now that I’m not wasting 5+ hours a day on my phone."

"INFO 98 has definitely made me a lot more aware about my intentions when using my devices. It has also made me understand how my brain works more and how to take better advantage of it. I would tell someone to enroll in this course to understand yourself better and to become a master of your device!"

-Mei Chen

 

"Such a great course. Even if you don’t implement every tool we talk about, each one has the potential to make vast change in your life. Definitely take this course if you want to optimize your life and your relationship with your devices. I am now more conscientious about my life than I ever have been.  INFO 98 has given me more time. With between 2-4 hours more free time a day, I’ve been more productive and explored new and old hobbies."

-Raquel Kunugi

 

"This has been so helpful. I am just much more mindful of my usage now, and even if I regress I now am equipped with habits and recommendations to fix it. I personally was not able to fully implement Notion in the midst of classes and homework, but I plan on setting aside the day after classes to get organized for the summer and next semester. I’m really looking forward to exploring the wide breadth of resources this course has provided me with. I no longer get sucked into the infinite scroll on reels, and I spend so much less time getting sucked into rabbit holes. I have a crazy next semester planned, but I’m really looking forward to organizing it with Notion."

-Kingsley Erich

 

"Starting this class I had no real expectations how the content and the outcome will look like. Over the last 12 weeks I learned a lot about myself and my relationship to technology devices. I was able to use my devices less and if so only efficiently. That way I had more time for exploring nature or doing fun stuff with my friends. I would definitely recommend this course for everyone who wants to enjoy life more and be less distracted by your devices for 7-10 hours a day. A big plus were also the provided resources like book, app or shortcut recommendations to create the technical environment, which is helpful and not a waste of time."

-Lea Mueller

 

"INFO 98 is an exceptionally well put-together class, that covers all facets of becoming tech-intentional, and I would highly recommend this class to anyone that wants to distance themselves from social media/gaming. I really enjoyed the mini lectures that blend psychology, cognitive science, and technology, to convey meaningful methods to change our relationship with our devices. These lectures have helped inform my daily habits, allowing me to significantly reduce my daily screen time and improve my work and study habits."

 

"I loved the relevancy of this course and how it offers solutions and guides for our generation of social media addicts. I have never heard of all of these tools that Dino introduced to us to help us clean up our digital environments and I probably wouldn’t have had a clue what to do to clean up my digital life and habits without this course. Since taking this course, I have been more conscious about how I spend my time online and I understand that technology and social media is not black and white in its usefulness and destructiveness. I feel more motivated to spend less time on my phone or online and instead fill my free time with enriching activities instead."

-Ozge Selin 

 

"I really enjoyed INFO98 this semester. It opened my eyes to how the world of technology can be utilized as a tool to enrich our lives and not simply be an escape from it. Dino does a great job of peeling back the layers of digital entertainment and showing you exactly what you are consuming. His organization system is definitely impressive and attests that this system works!"

"Great course! Broadly applicable and really nice selection of topics. They tie together nicely and I can strongly recommend this course to anyone else who is interested in making their life more efficient. Definitely potential to change lives."
