“The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.”
A timely quote.
In lieu of railing against technology and social media, I have a simple question.
When’s the last time you went an hour without the internet? A day? I did an experiment a few months back, and spent a week away from my phone and laptop. The results were incredible. After an initial sense of anxiety, a wonderful clarity and calmness took over. Since then, I’ve adjusted my behavior to minimize tech use, and so I can continue to tap into that good-feeling wellspring.
There is a ton of research on the detriments our cell phones and technology give—a day without technology will do a better job revealing the benefits of a less “plugged-in” life.
