Marketing professor Kelley Cours Anderson has published an article for The Conversation concerning the need for a digital detox.
Anderson notes that 62% of Americans confess to feeling addicted to their devices and the internet. She says, despite efforts to unplug and strike a balance, many people fall short of being able to fully disconnect from the digital world.
“The digital detox journey can be challenging, but many people discover it to be rewarding in the end,” says Anderson. “People are not machines, however, so recognizing your limits and finding ways to reconnect with yourself and others during a detox can significantly enhance your sense of humanity and digital well-being.”
Anderson’s research finds four key strategies to improve the outcome of this journey toward achieving a healthier digital balance.
