Digital Detox: Unplug & Recharge
The most significant development in technology in the past year wasn’t AI or machine learning or the cloud or blockchain. No, the biggest step forward in the world of technology was the realization that we have to set boundaries in our relationship with technology to protect our humanity.
Connect with Others in
an Always-On World
We all love technology. We love the convenience and connection our phones and devices have brought to modern life. But having the world at our fingertips has brought a whole new universe of temptations, notifications and alerts that erodes our ability to connect with one another.
Prioritize Yourself in a Hyper-Connected World
In case of an emergency on a flight, we’re told to “secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others.” That advice makes sense on an airplane, but out in the world, we can’t wait for things to get dire before we put our own well-being first, we need to prioritize ourselves every day.

In a tech-saturated world, with constant competing demands on our attention, we’re being controlled by something we should be controlling. And it’s consuming our attention and crippling our ability to focus, think, be present, and be productive. We need to create new norms about how we use technology.
