      About the Author

      Dr. Michael Horne has a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Institute for Psychological Sciences in Virginia (a Catholic graduate school integrating faith and psychology). He currently serves as the Director of Clinical Services for Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington, where he has worked since 2012. Prior to this position, Dr. Horne worked in several Catholic mental health clinics in northern Virginia and Lincoln, Nebraska. In his clinical practice, Dr. Horne has had the privilege to work with many children, teenagers, and families who struggle with how to appropriately address and balance the influence of technology in their lives. Dr. Horne completed his doctoral dissertation on violent video games and the influence they have on the player.

      Before pursing a doctorate, Dr. Horne received a BS in Radio-Television-Film from the University of Texas at Austin and worked in television for a number of years with KVR-TV in Austin and HoustonPBS. Because of his background in the media and his continued interest in that subject, he frequently gives talks on video games, social media, pornography, and parenting. He also writes a blog on parenting, which can be found at www.theduckeffect.com.

      He lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia, with his wife, Kara, and their three children, who keep them on their toes and have them thinking hard about how to parent in the midst of the Wi-Fi jungle.

      For Kara and our children — thank you for teaching me that being is gift.

      Acknowledgments

      I would like to thank Jaymie Stuart Wolfe, Heidi Busse, and Cindy Cavnar for their guidance, patience, and encouragement throughout the writing process. Without them, this book would have never made the transition from concept to completion. I’d also like to thank Art and Laraine Bennett for suggesting that I could compile some of my talks on technology into a book, and then making the introductions necessary to take the next step. Thanks also to my brothers, Scott and James, who have been my closest friends and coconspirators since our summers together in London, many years ago. Last, but by no means least, I’d like to thank my parents, Susan and Jerry Horne, for teaching me what it means to parent with love and joyfully respond to God’s call.
