About the Author
Dr Jo Orlando PhD is an internationally recognised researcher revolutionising our relationship with technology. As a parent of three, she bridges the gap between academic research and real-world solutions, tackling everyday tech struggles rather than promoting unrealistic digital detox theories.

She has popularised terms like 'sharenting' and 'zombie scrolling', turning complex topics into accessible insights that resonate with parents worldwide. Dr Jo is a trusted advisor to governments, educators and tech giants, driving evidence-based policy change on a global scale. As a media commentator and keynote speaker she translates rigorous research into practical, parent-tested strategies that help families thrive in our digital age.
