Disconnection Practices
there were no screens.
I believe that how we relate to our devices is not a
simple question with an answer like “use moderation”
or “all screens are evil”.
Screens can influence and mediate how we work,
where we go, who we date, and how we communicate.
Instead of accepting the default narratives of how we
are supposed to use our devices, there are better and
stranger possibilities.
We all need to listen to our own bodies and their needs
and their limits, and what works for one person may
not work for another, but there are also practices that
can be shared. When I am in certain yoga poses which
I never would have thought of on my own I feel like I
am using ancient technology.
We have only had screen-based devices for a short
period of time and there are no established practices
for nourishing ways to use these devices.”
