Sunday, January 28th, is the official International Internet-Free Day, a campaign started and promoted by the Global Ideas Bank.
From the global ideas bank:
Do you check your inbox every five minutes? Do you lose track of time surfing the online shops? Have you e-mailed a colleague at a desk next to you? Do you podcast your daily thoughts, rather than call your mother? Fear not: hope is at hand. Take a break on this Sunday January 28th: Internet Free Day.
An idea promoted by the online think-tank of social innovation the Global Ideas Bank, Internet-Free Day is a day to log off, get out and enjoy the real world.
Why an Internet-Free Day?
- Because there's no replacing face-to-face interaction with real humans: we are social animals
- Because you can't get your five a day from e-mails
- Because you can't subscribe to an RSS feed from your grandma
- Because people's faces are clearer in reality than YouTube
- Because your Blackberry is surgically attached to your hand...
- Because we all need a bit of R&R: reality and reflection
- Because if this has riled you, you really need it....
