WHAT IS A DIGITAL DETOX?

A digital detox is a temporary period of fully disconnecting from all digital devices to focus on social interaction, reduce stress, and be fully present in the world ‘offline’.
The term ‘digital detox’ was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013, just six years after the launch of the first iphone (which kicked off the smartphone revolution). What’s happened to the way we use technology in those intervening six years that has made doing a digital detox so important?

 

WHY DO A DIGITAL DETOX?
You don’t need to read any of the research and statistics we have put together on digital detox to know we have a problem. Just walk down an average street or look around a restaurant to see what’s happening. It’s very easy to see that our lives have become unbalanced as a result of being glued to our smartphones all day.
We love technology. We’re not advocating that you give it up completely. We simply insist that we all need a good break from it once in a while (preferably regularly) to allow our frazzled brains to recover. And to rediscover our social skills!
