We Have An Important QUESTION For YOU, Click Here To WATCH!
Are you guilty of “phubbing?” That is, snubbing someone you’re talking to and looking at a cell phone. This Valentine's day, focus on giving the attention to your partner with these digital detox solutions for couples.
Smartphone addiction in schools is becoming a hot topic in the industry. Both parents and educators must take lead and learn how to manage screen time and raise awareness of the negative impact of technology overuse. Together we need to create a balance between using devices in the classroom and engaging in offline activities.
The most obvious problems come in the form of eye strain or issues associated with sitting for too long. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends a maximum of two hours of sedentary screen time per day.
When it comes to children’s development and digital parenting, parents should worry about both kids’ screen time and their own. Screens are here to stay and have taken over, more often than not, during important family moments like meal-time. Indeed, top technology leaders like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, among others, confirmed they've even restricted or limited their children's screen time (New York Times, 2017).
At Bagby, we love taking responsibility and testing things on our own so we decided to carry a home experiment that opened our eyes and encouraged us to create a solution to help other parents in the same situation.
Minimalism is a tool to rid yourself of life’s excess in favor of focusing on what’s important—so you can find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom.”Now, if Minimalism is all about focusing on the important things, especially freedom and happiness, why have we given them away in favor of convenience, technology, and digital consumerism? I’m not saying that we should all go back to the stores, buy everything we got rid of and destroy our phones. I’m suggesting, however, that we should all do an introspective exercise and define what makes us happy that is not “SMART” or related to our smartphones. I’m confident you will find yourself bringing back that analog clock you loved in the bedroom, your book collection, that simple and old mug with your name on it, or your old-school key chain.
