Technology has been extremely helpful in society’s evolution. The internet and social media have kept us informed and connected while streaming and video conferencing have entertained us and kept businesses afloat. But too much of anything can be detrimental. At times, it’s essential to disconnect and reset.
Why Do a Digital Detox
There are several benefits to unplugging from screens occasionally:
- Give your eyes a rest
