Talk Abstract

In this presentation I ponder the significance of natural sounds in shaping our experiences and memories. Drawing from my own observations and research findings, I propose that exposure to authentic auditory environments fosters creativity and emotional connections. However, in today's digital age, where headphones and artificial sounds dominate, I raise concerns about the potential consequences for memory formation and human connection. Through anecdotes and insights, I advocate for the cultivation of listening as a skill essential for understanding our world and preserving our humanity amidst technological advancements.
