Summary: The tools we created to facilitate our lives now control us and our lives. More and more we rely on digital connection to attempt to fulfil our needs, but so many of our human needs cannot be met by a smart phone. Skype and Facetime have taken the place of meeting with people; instead of playing with children, we use digital devices to entertain them; smart phone messages of no real importance are read while in the company of others. Through self-help assessments, step-by-step programmes and rebalancing techniques, Unplugged shows you how technology can still play an important role in your life but not at the expense of relationships, and shows how to create a healthy balance between the two.
