The Digital Detox Day initiative aims to help people disconnect from smartphones and other electronic devices for a few hours. Appointment on July 1
If you are among those who can’t get away from the smartphone, it is good that you keep free for next July 1.
The company will promote the first Digital Detox Day, an event that does not aim to recommend the best application to compose the perfect mixture to detoxify the body. Ella’s objective is, instead, to purify mind and body from the excessive use of technology. A commendable initiative, which will help us for a few hours to reconnect – and the word is not accidental – not with a device but with life. Those who decide to take part in the event will just have to put their electronic devices inside a box, the Digital Detox Box, and think about enjoying their vacation. The Digital Detox Day, in fact, will be staged in almost two thousand hotel facilities.
Smartphone addiction on the rise
The event organized by Ella is one of many initiatives that seek to draw attention to a growing and increasingly worrying problem: smartphone addiction. Headaches, vision problems, difficulty sleeping, depression: these are some of the negative effects caused by excessive use of technology. Moreover, as many studies show, electronic devices sometimes decrease the brain’s ability to remember. In short, it’s as if they shut down our mind. Nevertheless, we just can’t do without them. And it would be foolish to claim otherwise. What we can do is try to limit their use. At least for a few hours a day.
