National Day of Unplugging 2022
 |
Time was I wanted immersion in everything available for personal communications and the smart phone was like an extension of my hand.
I'm happy to say that those days are gone.
Now I use a flip phone.
I try to avoid texting.
I don't have this incessant need to be in the loop these days.
March 4 is said to be the National Day of Unplugging.
It is ostensibly for you to set aside your electronics and engage life more in the foreground than you might do otherwise.
Those valuable moments in our lives sometimes transpire unnoticed at the expense of some smartphone screen.
Social media, microblogging, and other aspects of the cell phone monster controlling you may inhibit other things which might color and add meaning to your meager existence not to mention interpersonal failures and inability to unplug, reflect, consider your existence from a human perspective and connections with loved ones.
National Day of Unplugging requests 24 hours to excavate that person you really are — perhaps rediscover the outdoors, and reconnect in person for a change.
You have nothing to lose except your technical isolation at the hands of that smart phone monster which sometimes controls your very existence.
