03- Digital Detox: A Solution in Search of a Problem?
Living Well with Technology. (((Hi everyone, sorry for the echo on Fabrice's voice, we had a small technical mishap (OK, OK, not using headphones, you guessed it). We tried to correct it the best we could. Thanks.))) In this episode of the Human Pulse Podcast, Fabrice Neuman and Anne Trager discuss the concept of digital detoxes, exploring their necessity and effectiveness in today's technology-driven world. They delve into the impact of devices on face-to-face conversations, empathy, and social interactions, referencing insights from a French sociologist. Anne shares her personal experience of a 10-day meditation retreat without devices, highlighting the surprising lack of longing for technology. The conversation shifts to the broader implications of device usage, the importance of intentionality in technology use, and the role of technology in emergencies. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to reflect on their own device usage and consider small acts of disconnection.
