The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place

What it is

Andy Crouch begins where filtering guides do not: with what a family is actually for — forming wisdom and courage in the people who live there — and then asks what role technology can hold without displacing that. The result is ten practical commitments, including the rhythm he is best known for: one hour a day, one day a week, and one week a year free of screens, and the principle that technology should be in its proper place rather than at the centre of the home. He draws on Barna Group research and, usefully, is candid about which commitments his own family keeps well and which they do not. Published by Baker Books. In this directory it is the philosophical companion to Protect Young Eyes and ScreenStrong, both of which give the mechanics; this gives the reason and the household architecture.
