Have you ever thought how many hours a day passes grabbed the phone, the computer screen or television? If you accounting numbers can be really scary. One study found that the Portuguese spend on average about 4.2 hours per day connected to the Internet and 3.1 hours connected to the television. Adding these values, we spent about 7.3 hours daily contact with technology. Assuming that an adult human being sleeps on average eight hours easily conclude that all the time we are awake, half of it is spent on technological devices company

the constant and aggressive use of technology can lead us to serious situations from the point of view of our reasoning ability, concentration, understanding the real world and creativity. In fact, a study from the University of Psychology of Utah (USA) proved that spending four days without technology enhances creativity by 50%!

Of course I do not propose to be oblivious of their technological devices for so long, since so it seems impossible for most people, these days, have their professional activity completely dependent on these

the solution could delete during 24 hours all the technology in your life. Do not connect to the Internet, do not watch TV, do not you dare turn on your computer or tablet. I knew that young people check their smartphone, on average, more than 123 times a day, in what is considered a psychologically unhealthy behavior? And I knew that in turn, adults occur, on average, your phone more than once per hour?

The author refers, among other things, the earliness with which the young have access to this type of equipment and how, early on, follow the “bad example” of the parents, not admitting turn off the device.

in a society that is taking great strides for a dehumanization and for a progressive scan almost everything, it is important to ponder the real world does not deserve to be appreciated in its fullness. We do not lose too much time to do superfluous things on the network? We will not be putting ourselves in the service of technology rather than these to put themselves to our service? These are issues on which we should reflect. The introduction of one day a week in which the virtual disengage us is very important relational perspective and perception of “real world”, the contact with nature, with the physical and concrete rather than the abstract and easy world of screens .
