46 Meet the Author

Hello! I’m Alana! I wrote this chapter during my freshman year at OSU. I am a Health Science major now and am pursuing a career in Naturopathy. I am all about living a healthy and environmentally conscious lifestyle. I believe our health and the environment are deeply intertwined and are in danger with the rising climate crisis. In fact, everything in our world plays a part in the bigger scheme of things. Technology, I believe, is a force that alters, for better or worse, our connection to each other and nature. My chapter explores some of the big questions surrounding evolving technology in our world today.
