This Sunday 28 December 2025 at 11:00 am Athens time, “Infinitely Curious” on ERT’s Voice of Greece asks a question that feels uncomfortably close to home.
Inspired by a Christmas letter from Umberto Eco to his grandson, warning that a brain unused becomes a brain weakened, and by everyday moments we all recognize—like no longer knowing our own streets without Google Maps—journalist and presenter Katerina Batzaki explores how the internet is reshaping our memory, attention, and thinking.
Are we outsourcing our minds?
Is constant connectivity making us forget how to remember?
And could this digital dependence play a role in cognitive decline?
With insights from psychiatrist Dr. Tracey Marks, technology critic Nicholas Carr, neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki, and Harvard professor Arthur C. Brooks, this hourly episode moves from working memory and attention to exercise, boredom, and how we can fight back—without rejecting technology, but without surrendering to it either.
An episode about memory, movement, boredom, and resistance.
Produced and presented by Katerina Batzaki
Broadcast: Sunday 28 December 2025, 11:00-12:00 am. Athens time
