It feels a little wrong to be typing this out on my computer-- but the thesis of the book isn't no screens at all--it's to be more mindful of screen use & the benefits of unplugging one day a week so I will give myself grace. This was the first actionable book I've read around limiting screen time, written in an accessible, thoughtful and compelling way. Tech Shabbat is a concept the author has used in her own life, and now implemented in her family for over a decade with great results. They go offline/off all screens from 6 pm Friday to 6 pm Saturday (of course a few things pop up a year that get in the way, but for the most part this is a weekly ritual.), starting the fast with a communal meal that they invite various friends and family too. And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

It's too early to tell, but I think this book has changed my life for the better, and I hope for long. The idea is simple: one day of the week, turn off all screens and electronics to connect with yourself, the people around you and the world. Our desire for connection through the internet has fostered a lot of disconnection. However where some documentaries and people go into fear mongering, Tiffany, founder of the Webby Awards, is more optimistic and proposes a more doable solution. Turning off your screens once a week allows you to connect with yourself and provides a genuine day of rest, whereas with our phones we are always turned on in some way, available 24/7 to reply to people. It also can change how you relate to your electronic devices the other 6 days of the week.A Psalm of David.

If you look at your day of unplugging as a way to reset/reboot your system it goes a long way. Literally just look at what happens when you have too many tabs open for too long and never shut down your computer, it freezes, it becomes slow, your ability to carry out work on it is compromised, less efficient. Our bodies are like that as well. I appreciate a few things in this book. I like the emotion in the reading, as Shlain does the performance herself. The reading is personal, conversational, and charming. You can hear her choke up on a couple occasions, particularly when reading about her father's funeral, and that is a kind of connection I appreciate. She has some good ideas as far as her one tech free day per week premise is concerned, but nothing I haven't really heard before. To be clear, this is not a mainstream idea-- the author's family has a landline in case of emergencies, they have to print out maps and designate meeting places when they have plans on Saturday-- so there are inconveniences to living this way-- but she makes a compelling argument & her teenage daughters voices are heard in the book too-- that the benefits are worth it. Couldn’t finish. Got a little over halfway through it. The general idea of a Tech Shabbat is wonderful and I support it, but I think this approach to discussing tech is outdated and unhelpful. How do we talk about phone usage without fear mongering? It’s certainly not by saying this, the line that made me quit: “Let’s just call everything what it is. A flip phone is a phone and a smart phone is an addiction machine.”
