Fox News Asks: Do We Need to Take a Break from Technology?

Awesome new article on Fox: http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/good_day_wi/smartphone-technology-changing-the-way-people-communicate

Some of the statistics in the article are shocking, but to be expected:

Less than one-third of mobile phone users take a break and actually turn them off.

The article stresses the importance of taking a break in order to perform better.  We all know you’re not supposed to drive or operate heavy machinery when you haven’t slept enough.  What are the effects of just trying to get some honest work done when your brain is overloaded with input?

We love this part:

If your own willpower isn’t strong enough, some hotels will help you check out when you check in.

The Quincy Hotel in Washington is one with a package that encourages guests to stow devices for their stay and take advantage of various non-digital perks.

Wow.  We don’t even relax on vacation.
