Dr. Falilat Olaitan Jimoh Unveils Plugged Out. Tuned In., Inspiring Conversations on Digital Well-being.

As the world continues to embrace artificial intelligence and rapid technological advancement, technology leader and innovation strategist Dr. Falilat Olaitan Jimoh has released a thought-provoking book titled Plugged Out. Tuned In., offering readers a timely perspective on maintaining balance in an increasingly digital world.

The book tells the story of Fareed, a young professional whose seemingly successful life is overshadowed by an unhealthy dependence on technology.
Following a life-changing health scare, Fareed embarks on a journey of self-discovery, learning to reclaim his focus, purpose, relationships, and faith while redefining his relationship with digital technology.

Unlike many discussions that portray technology as the problem, Plugged Out. Tuned In. presents a balanced narrative, encouraging readers to embrace innovation while remaining intentional about how they use it.
The book highlights the importance of mastering technology rather than becoming controlled by it, making it particularly relevant in an era dominated by social media, endless notifications, and artificial intelligence.

Dr. Jimoh brings significant expertise to the subject. With over two decades of experience spanning government, academia, and emerging technologies, she currently serves with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), where she leads strategic initiatives on innovation and digital inclusion across Nigeria’s Southwest Zone. Her previous work at the University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom, managing a European Commission-funded research network, further reflects her global experience in technology and innovation.

Beyond her professional achievements, Dr. Jimoh is also the founder of BOUNTIIS, an initiative dedicated to empowering women through education, collaboration, and strategic interventions. Her commitment to inclusive development and the responsible use of artificial intelligence is reflected throughout the book.

Plugged Out. Tuned In. is already attracting attention for its compelling blend of storytelling and practical insight, encouraging readers to reflect on the impact of technology on their daily lives. Its central message that true freedom lies not in abandoning technology but in mastering it resonates strongly in today’s digital age.

The publication adds an important voice to ongoing conversations about artificial intelligence, digital well-being, and purposeful living, positioning Dr. Falilat Olaitan Jimoh as not only a technology expert but also a thoughtful advocate for human-centered innovation.
