About this ebook
- Some surveys suggest that we spend over 7 hours a day on some form of technology; Digital Detox examines the implications of a technologically focused life and the dynamic possibilities for those longing to cultivate a richer on and off-line existence.
- Through historical data, type-written letters, chapter challenges and personal accounts from prominent artists, broadcasters, and thinkers, the book creates a convincing case for increasing intentionality in our day-to-day lives.
- While other books reveal the pitfalls of computer and smartphone overuse, no other mainstream titles help lead readers into a balanced and lively existence in their day-to-day lives.
- The author discovered during her "internet fast" that the smartphone check-ins that she had been making multiple times a day were actually time suckers, not time savers.
- With her extra time, the author was able to engage with new ideas, read books, study and create.
- Book club discussion questions are included at the end of the book
- Since unplugging from the internet for 31 days, the action which spawned this books as well as the Letters from a Luddite project, the author has been featured on the CBC radio show, Spark, and has written about technology for UPPERCASE magazine, Geez magazine, Today's Parent, New York-based journal The Curator .
