Unplugging
:
Is
it
really
that
necessary
?
Unplugging
.
.
.
I
am
sure
our
grandparents
never
thought
this
would
mean
something
other
than
disconnecting
an
electronic
device
from
the
power
plug
,
and
never
imagined
humans
would
have
to
disconnect
from
the
devices
themselves
.
As
crazy
as
it
sounds
,
unplugging
?
or
taking
a
break
from
devices
?
has
become
a
necessity
for
many
,
since
it
is
not
that
simple
.
If
we
think
about
it
,
our
smartphones
are
just
marvelous
,
aren't
they
?
We
can
do
anything
with
them
,
check
our
email
,
do
our
shopping
,
stay
connected
with
friends
through
social
media
,
watch
movies
,
listen
to
music
,
take
photographs
,
research
every
single
we
may
have
,
and
so
much
more
!
So
what's
not
to
like
?
It
seems
that
our
smartphones
have
substituted
the
need
for
a
face
to
face
conversation
,
or
even
the
need
for
a
phone
call
?
just
text
me
instead
.
They
just
make
our
life
easier
,
don't
you
think
?
If
someone
arrives
late
,
then
we
can
start
bugging
them
by
reaching
for
our
smartphone
from
our
pocket
.
If
you
feel
you
are
lost
,
you
can
go
to
a
maps
app
and
find
your
way
in
a
second
.
If
you
need
to
write
a
report
,
you
just
copy
and
paste
any
piece
of
information
you
need
.
What
would
we
do
without
our
smartphones
?
How
did
we
live
our
lives
before
smartphones
?
Strangely
enough
,
it
seems
that
we
have
forgotten
about
the
,
when
families
could
sit
at
restaurants
and
chat
,
when
we
had
to
open
an
in
order
to
do
homework
,
when
we
could
take
advantage
of
a
commercial
in
order
to
run
to
the
bathroom
,
or
get
a
snack
from
the
kitchen
,
and
the
emotion
and
suspense
of
waiting
for
a
week
to
watch
the
next
episode
of
our
favorite
TV
show
.
I
know
what
you
are
thinking
,
"
I
still
talk
to
my
family
on
WhatsApp
.
.
.
Wikipedia
knows
it
all
.
.
.
We
can
pause
on
Netflix
if
we
need
to
go
.
.
.
I
prefer
to
watch
the
whole
season
of
my
favorite
show
in
one
night
.
.
.
"
All
that
seems
so
convenient
,
so
do
you
think
you
need
to
unplug
?
The
immediate
answer
may
be
:
"
It
is
simply
impossible
.
"
And
I
agree
with
you
,
it
does
seem
like
trying
to
.
But
if
we
really
think
about
it
,
if
we
really
meditate
on
it
,
is
it
really
of
any
benefit
to
be
plugged
all
the
time
?
How
many
hours
do
you
spend
in
front
of
your
computer
at
work
every
day
?
How
many
times
do
you
check
your
phone
every
day
?
Do
you
ever
receive
messages
in
the
middle
of
the
night
because
you
forget
to
turn
off
your
phone
?
Don't
you
think
we
may
be
by
allowing
technology
to
rule
our
lives
?
If
your
answer
is
yes
,
then
think
about
the
benefits
of
unplugging
.
First
of
all
,
you
will
get
better
sleep
.
Believe
me
,
there
is
something
about
the
light
of
your
smartphone
or
laptop
that
tells
your
brain
to
be
awake
.
But
if
you
read
a
book
or
meditate
instead
of
checking
your
Facebook
before
going
to
bed
,
you
will
have
a
better
night
sleep
.
Second
,
you
will
be
able
to
spend
more
time
with
your
friends
or
family
.
Here
is
an
idea
,
I
have
heard
that
some
people
those
they
are
eating
with
if
they
check
their
phone
at
a
restaurant
,
so
you
could
even
get
a
free
meal
if
they
cannot
resist
the
temptation
.
Be
careful
though
,
you
don't
want
to
be
the
one
paying
for
all
the
meals
.
And
don't
forget
to
enjoy
the
company
for
once
.
Third
,
more
time
for
yourself
.
Checking
emails
or
social
media
accounts
can
take
more
time
than
you
can
anticipate
,
you
may
think
,
"
I
forgot
to
send
this
email
.
.
.
"
and
,
you
wasted
two
hours
in
front
of
your
computer
or
using
your
smartphone
,
and
didn't
even
notice
how
it
happened
.
Think
of
this
time
as
wasted
,
there
is
no
benefit
or
in
keeping
up
with
every
single
thing
happening
around
the
world
.
So
what
would
you
like
to
do
instead
?
Go
for
a
walk
?
Do
some
exercise
?
Read
a
book
?
Write
your
autobiography
?
The
sky's
the
limit
!
Now
,
how
can
you
unplug
?
It
all
seems
so
easy
,
but
it's
not
.
You
need
to
show
some
self
-
control
here
,
what
is
the
worst
thing
that
could
happen
if
you
don't
reply
that
text
immediately
?
Will
everyone
be
all
right
?
Then
,
it
can
wait
.
Organize
your
email
settings
so
you
don't
get
disturbed
when
you
are
on
vacation
,
with
your
family
,
or
enjoying
some
.
You
can
go
through
your
apps
and
eliminate
the
one
or
two
that
are
too
addictive
to
be
healthy
.
If
I
can
do
it
,
you
can
do
it
.
No
more
'candy
crush'
for
me
.
And
did
you
know
your
smartphone
has
a
'do
not
disturb'
setting
?
It
does
!
Use
it
!
And
some
suggested
rules
you
may
want
to
apply
in
order
to
make
this
unplugging
thing
more
real
to
you
:
?
No
phones
in
bed
.
?
No
phones
at
the
table
.
?
No
emails
on
vacation
.
?
No
phones
in
view
?
put
it
in
a
drawer
.
Happy
unplugging
day
!
Or
weekend
?
Let's
check
what
you
can
remember
