We spend half our lives online nowadays and it’s obviously causing damage to our health. Do you think it would be worth the benefits to stop carrying a smartphone and to disable the WiFi at home?

    I certainly recommend taking breaks from the internet every now and again. I didn’t really have the internet until sometime in highschool (it depends if you consider AOL before the WWW addition “the internet”, though I guess we had BBS and such before that). When out on my own, we couldn’t afford a monthly dial-up subscription, so we didn’t use it that much. Certainly, no internet in my pocket until I was into my 20s, and certainly not full browsers, etc. like today. Maybe that makes it easier for me, but I don’t know.
