I did this in 2008 when on a trip in my home country where network coverage was so bad and power sockets so rare that a smartphone was basically useless and more likely stolen from you if you show people you have one.

After that that, my cyber-addiction has mostly stopped: I can go without a computer big or small for months (but then I would need the good old paper for various needs) and not give a damn about likes or karma or even toxic comments.



It also really helps if you were born in a time where all this didn't exist. Just remember how we did this in the 90s. I do a live-like-in-the-90s-day about once a month now, and it is quite relaxing.


I was born in 1999, what does a "live-like-in-the-90s-day" look like?


Easy: No internet, no smartphones.
