Stand still and do nothing… April 17, 2010

Adbusters Magazine, the Journal of the Mental Environment, calls for a week of unplugging a little from our multimedia lifestyles, this is how they put it:
We are all living through the digital revolution, an amazing, exciting time where knowledge is free and the world is at our fingertips. But there is a dark side to our digital emancipation. Jumping brain syndrome, decreased creativity, isolation and depression all stem from an overload of instantly accessible media.
Next week during Digital Detox Week we urge you to take some time to pull back from the wired world and assess the damage. Rethink your love affair with technology, stop obsessing over your virtual life, get outside and reignite your relationships with each other. You don’t have to go cold turkey on the screens in your life – we won’t. Simply take a few small steps away from them every day.
Sounds like a great idea to me: between April 19th and the 25th go outside (even if its raining), stretch your back, stand up straight for a change and go and be nice to someone instead of typing on your friends facebook wall!
