Modern life surrounds us with technology at every turn. Nearly every aspect of work and play heavily involves the use of technology in one form or another. Technology usage is so pervasive that at times it seems there is no way to escape its reach.
The benefits of technology are without question. At the same time, it is important to make the distinction between useful technology and technology overload. The best way to make this distinction is to reduce and eliminate the most unnecessary impacts of technology in our lives.
Weaning oneself off of technology involves making a practical examination of how we use technology in our daily lives. Rather than going cold turkey, and trying to eliminate all technology at once, a better method is to eliminate technology around the edges of our lives. Once this first cycle is accomplished further reduction can follow.
Reducing the amount of television or internet consumed before sleeping helps to set the tone for the day to follow. Once this is done limiting phone usage and emailing to only the most essential communications can be added on as well. By slowly and methodically reducing the amount of time spent interfacing with technology, we can begin to unplug from the wired world.
