About
Is there still time to save ourselves from the bombardment of social media and screen time before it becomes the new norm? This is as important as Greta Thunberg’s fight for the planet - both are about survival.
A powerful universal message is being spread by a group of young school children through a newly published little book called “lost in information”. Is there still time to save ourselves from the bombardment of social media and screen time before it becomes the new norm? This is a subject equally important as Greta Thunberg’s fight for the planet – both are about survival.
Concept and creation are by a 90-year-old Norwegian teacher and artist, Astrid Iverslien. It is dedicated to her 15 year old great-grandchild. This is not just a cautionary tale - it's a guide to rekindling the sparks of genuine living in a world that has been overwhelmed by screens.
