How can we ensure that technology is being used as a tool to enhance empathy and deep listening skills, rather than as a barrier to genuine human connection?

We can ensure that technology is used to enhance empathy and deep listening skills by promoting digital mindfulness and encouraging face-to-face interactions. Additionally, incorporating empathy-building features into technology platforms can help users connect on a more personal level. It is important to set boundaries around technology use and prioritize genuine human connections in order to prevent it from becoming a barrier to empathy and deep listening. Regularly educating individuals on the importance of empathy and active listening in all forms of communication can also help foster genuine connections in a tech-driven world.
