This fast-paced and high tech world is pretty great. Despite this greatness, it can sometimes be overwhelming. Technology has helped us connect with more people than ever before. It has made our everyday lives increasingly efficient. From vacuums that operate themselves to TV’s that connect to the internet. Digital technology can be pretty cool. Engaging with people on social networks, video chats and having the latest, up to the minute news and information at our fingertips has become the norm. While you can’t debate the wonderful benefits that have come from this technology revolution, there can also be quite a few drawbacks. Just as you would take a vacation for a break from everyday stressors, a digital detox getaway every now and then is helpful to keep yourself from feeling too drained by the endless flow of digital demands. Being connected 24/7 with all of our smartphones, tablets, computers and even video games can take a toll on a person. The buzz of notifications from this or that social network, and apps that push the latest and greatest deal or hot must-have item is enough to make anyone feel weary. Or, just having your smartphone perpetually chiming from an eternal flow of emails from work, voicemails and even text messages can make your head spin. If you’ve got this going on during your vacation, you’ll never fully recharge yourself and be ready to take on the world upon returning. It may be time for you and your family to embark on a digital detox getaway.
