Investigator Lecture 2013

Investigator Lecture 2013: "Many children are now growing up immersed in technology, with teenagers leading the advance into a 24/7 digital lifestyle. Much of our children's communication is now online, their leisure and entertainment is increasingly provided by the internet and video games, and they often seem inseparable from their mobile phones. Some press articles suggest we are facing an unprecedented crisis in which 'the human brain ... is under threat from the modern world'.

Flinders University’s Investigator Lecture is its pre-eminent public lecture of the year. Matthew Flinders’ ship, the Investigator acts as a metaphor to embody the ideals of the University – innovation, forward thinking and the importance of providing intellectual space."
