I am all for getting away from the complexities of the modern world and ’switching off’ or ‘tuning out’ for a little while. I got to do a little of this over the Festive Season and I have to say it was truly invigorating. Getting away from incessant phone calls, emails and SMS messages was a blessing. The TV was turned off (most of the time) and only every now and then did a CD get any air time. So, there was plenty of time for reading, talking, thinking, walking and just plain ‘being’.
Hugo just posted a great collection of reasons to ‘tune out’ on his blog Streamlined Mind. The entry is titled 17 Reasons to Avoid Technology (for a few days). I hope you enjoy it.
