Family Hub for Super Connected Resources

Curated by musician and filmmaker Tim Arnold, this is a personal project built to support families navigating the digital age

Families we meet at our Super Connected events love Super Connected™ Boosts. These natural, feel-good activities restore dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—the same “happy chemicals” triggered by social media apps on smartphones. But unlike endless scrolling, these boosts don’t leave you drained—they lift you up and keep you shining. Try them out here!

Living Without a Smartphone

One of the few public figures to live entirely without a smartphone, musician and artist Tim Arnold has embraced a rare way of life in the digital age.

Want to do more than just manage screen time?

The album and film of Super Connected explore the growing tension between families and Big Tech — and we stand with those challenging the power imbalance. These initiatives are the next step from parenting strategies; they’re about protecting society itself. 

Support these movements working to hold Big Tech to account — and to create new approaches to technology that free us, not imprison us.

Exercise Your Rights

Want to push back against Meta’s surveillance machine? Thanks to a landmark legal win by campaigner Tanya O’Carroll, we now have the right to object to the use of our personal data for targeted advertising. Meta has been exposed for targeting vulnerable teens and tracking our every move. Tanya has opened the door. Now it’s up to us to walk through it. Send a GDPR objection to Meta today and make your voice count here.

People vs Big Tech

The People vs Big Tech is fighting back against a system built to keep us scrolling and divided — where our attention is sold and our children’s futures are compromised. A handful of corporations are profiting from polarisation, surveillance, and digital harm. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Together, we can build a better digital world.

Free Our Feeds

Free Our Feeds is part of a growing movement against billionaire-controlled social media. As Big Tech platforms neglect the sanctity of family life and tighten control on our youth, this movement is building a new kind of digital space — one that’s open, ethical and truly social.  Where people, not profit, shape the experience. Let’s make the feed human again. Learn more here.
