Let's hear from DoHa Nguyen, a former 'chronic procrastinator', about how new technologies have intentionally trapped us in a vicious cycle of procrastination — and how to escape it.
In this informative yet hilarious talk, DoHa visualizes the effects of this lost opportunity due to procrastination on our economy and society. From his own experience, he presents possible solutions to "break" the loop of addiction to technological distraction.
Le Dong Hai “DoHa” Nguyen FRSA is a Vietnamese social activist, software developer, and aspiring economist. A high-school student, he is the co-founder of the Global Association of Economics Education and one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts.
