How it started
The association was founded by Dario Martinis and Andrea Deltetto in 2017. They belong to the in-between generation, the one that watched the world go digital in real-time. Their teenage years disappeared into screens, computers, forums, games and digital addictions. Both have worked online and remote since 2007.
The NGO was born out of their deep wish for future generations and for humanity to not have to suffer what they suffered. It morphed over the years into a passionate research for new ways of living and of thinking about our mind, our experience, and the future of humanity as a whole.
2026 - DigitalStress.org 2.0:
We're rebooting for the AI era
We founded Digital Stress in 2017. For years, we researched, ran trainings, and explored how to thrive in the digital age. But the landscape has shifted massively.
The stakes are now hijacked attention on a mass scale, outsourced thinking, delegation of human agency, and even an existential threat to humanity itself.
Looking at the reality of 2026, we realized that the old ideas are no longer enough. The game has changed, and so must we. We're taking the foundational insights from our past explorations and executing a complete reboot of the project.
A clean slate focused on the new frontier: fresh research, updated guides, and deeper conversations for a world where technology is advancing at breakneck speed.
