The New York Times reports that the average computer user checks 40 websites a day and can switch programs 36 times an hour.“It’s an onslaught of information coming in today,” says Times technology journalist Matt Richtel. “At one time a screen meant maybe something in your living room. But now it’s something in your pocket so it goes everywhere — it can be behind the wheel, it can be at the dinner table, it can be in the bathroom. We see it everywhere today.”
So, basically, your brain is overloaded — exhausted — by digital devices. Think about it, how often are you in front of a screen every week? A lot, right? Now, it’s time to put down the device. Give yourself (and brain) a break. Step away. And get outside. Your computer will be right there waiting for you on Monday…
Happy Friday!
