We all spend a good part of our lives surrounded by screens. There’s no denying that they’re pretty great. But once in a while, it’s nice to be reminded to step away from them.
The first step is to take a break so the brain comes back to normal functioning. Secondly, it’s important to have a plan for how to properly balance tech use in your life.
Balance is definitely a goal I had in mind, once I realized that I was dreading every sound of my smartphones. I’m obviously a fan of technology, but even I was reaching my limits. I realized that my relationship with my inbox and social media accounts was not healthy. Given what I do, it’s not uncommon for strangers to call me an idiot — or worse — at 1:30 a.m. by e-mail or Facebook message. I decided I really didn’t want to deal with that in real time anymore.
The way I evade the screen has been to keep my phones out of my bedroom. That probably doesn’t sound revolutionary, but it’s been a game-changer for me. I can still hear the phone ring in case of an emergency. But I don’t check my e-mail or get on my social media accounts from bed. I even bought an alarm clock to stop myself from taking my phone to bed and to give myself some space from my phone soon after I wake up.
I’ve also made it a hobby to find technology that can help me unplug. Setting up times to send your phone automatically into "do not disturb" mode removes the temptation to check in on the office when you’re trying to sleep. Timer apps, such as 30/30 or even the basic one on your phone, can help you budget time to focus on tasks and allow you to put your phone down.
Reboot made an app to start your digital day off right. The iOS app, called Friday, gives you a conversation prompt and short essays a half-hour before sundown each Friday — for example, the best way to deal with a crisis, or the benefits of idleness — to make sure you go into your
tech-free hours
armed with some things to think about.
Even for those who don’t consider themselves addicted, setting up a full day each week to unplug is a worthy goal. It will give your brain time to reset. Using technology is great; not being able to stop is another thing altogether.
The first three paragraphs imply that the author has______.
选项
A、lived an isolated life without much social contact
B、spent most of his free time watching television
C、come to realize the need for some tech-free hours
D、got used to the disturbing sound of smartphones
答案
C
解析
文章第三段有but even I was reaching my limits,说明作者无法再忍受手机的铃声,也想摆脱网络生活。本段第三句和第四句表明作者经常通过e-mail或Facebook与别人交往,并不是没有社交生活的人。前三段中每段都有些文字表明作者决心采取措施摆脱手机的困扰。
