6 Ways To Disconnect From Social Media
"I hate the phone ringing, and I dislike email, but I have to use them constantly at work. When I get home I turn off the phone and computer. when I get away home I turn off phone and computer. When I get away I bring a phone and laptop, but only use it in emergencies, It's just the sound of silence and the wind in my face"
— Natalie, of Campwood, Texas
"I have a very small garden, this year I have planted three different kind of tomatoes, my favorite is sweet million tomatoes. I also planted yellow onions and green onions and herbs"
— Fund Ray of Hibbing, Minn
"I enjoy caring for my flowers too. It's wonderful way to disconnect with nature, just in my backyard!"
— Fund Ray of Hibbing, Minn
"My wife, Nicole, and I recently spent 3 weeks in London; Paris, and Switzerland, making the most of the summer hours, museums, galleries, theatres and pay-as-you-go bikes (best way to see London). Art, culture, history, nature (the actual versions) were a great way to disconnect from technology and connect with each other and things we are passionate about. Admittedly we used a GPS to get around Switzerland but no Facebook, Twitter, iPhones or email for 3 weeks"
— Michael Thomas of Johannesburg
"Juan says he tries to cut off from the tech world as he can while traveling: no MP3 player and very little digital camera. "Maybe just once, He says. "[It's] nice to have my own thoughts without distractions or incoming updates"
Here he is the Utah desert in summer of 2010
"During this trip, I had no access to computers and I was using a prepaid cellphone. It was bliss not knowing what was going on with the world and just enjoying the company of my family... Sometimes, we all need a little break to unwind and remove ourselves from this technologically dependent society. My break is in traveling"
— Chanel Brown is an ESL teacher in South Korea
"I like get to get out of cellphone range when I disconnect. Death Valley is 300 miles from my house. Sometimes I go to Joshua Tree National Park (pictured here). The Xterra allows me get off the paved roads and camp in very remote places. There is a real sense of freedom to not be reachable for a short time "
— Bill Hornstein of Los Angeles
