Hi, my name is Dr Ciarán Mc Mahon and I am the author of The Psychology of Social Media. I’ve been studying psychology for twenty years and I’m still fascinated by the interaction of the human mind with the information technologies we now use on a daily basis. I'm eager to share with Udemy members everything I've learned about how and why we act the way we do online.
