Global Day of Unplugging 2024
This is something I’ve been considering anyway. The idea of having an internet-free day!
As it happens, this weekend there’s a whole worldwide “unplugging” event taking place.
From March 1–2, from sundown to sundown, you’re encouraged to abstain from staring at your phone.
I’m one of those weirdos who doesn’t have Facebook or other time-sucking apps on my phone. I’d just like some time offline to think and maybe read a book or see a movie or stare into space.
But here’s the point of the “unplugging” event. I’m quoting the announcement here:
We are here to answer the US Surgeon General’s call to end loneliness and eager to help you up your game with your tech habits.
Since 2009, Global Day of Unplugging has been celebrated annually in March. Whether it is 1 hour or 24 hours, at some point during the first weekend of March, people all over the world, will step away from their screens and intentionally shift into an offline activity, an in-person interaction, a real-life gathering or simply a meaningful conversation about their relationship with technology. Below are some ways that YOU can be the change you want to see.
