In fact, Miller realized that without the net he had started becoming even more “out of touch with life.”DLast month, I went on my own digital detox. It was only two weeks, but it was the longest I’ve gone offline in 13 years.EWhy did I do it? Throughout the last decade, I’ve been plugged in 24-7, living in a world where the line between digital and real gets a bit blurred at times. For a while I’d felt the urge to free myself from it all, and wanted to see what would happen then.FI haven’t of course forgotten that I’m CEO of a social media company. My life’s work is built around the belief that being connected makes our lives richer and more rewarding. Still, I’d forgotten one key lesson along the way: moderation. As more and more of my life was spent scanning social feeds, I realized that I needed to step back and get some perspective.GSo on my winter vacation to Mexico, I took a break from being active on the internet for the entire trip. For a whole 14 days, I ate a lot of delicious seafood, surfed and fixed up my hut on the beach. I didn’t go online except to check my email periodically — just to make sure an emergency wasn’t unfolding while I was away.HWhat I learned from my short experiment was actually not too unlike what Miller learned. I didn’t end up discovering that technology is evil. In fact, I found myself reflecting on how living and breathing tech has let me experience some of the most rewarding moments of my life: I’ve seen world events unfold before my eyes over social networks; I’ve seen people using new technologies to stay in touch with their loved ones. I’ve also seen businesses finding new and innovative methods to connect with their clients through channels like Facebook or LinkedIn.IThe irony is that by stepping away from all things digital for a while, I actually felt even more appreciative of it. After all, technology is a part of me now and it’s how I interact with many of the most important people in my life; it’s also made me who I am both professionally and personally.JI learned a few other lessons from my short digital detox, which — as I dive back into my connected reality — I’ll make sure to remember:KSnacking is fun, but it shouldn’t replace full meals. With the digital explosion has come an excess of cheap, easy, and addictive pieces of online content for us to readily snack on. No wonder it’s so easy to fall into the habit of spending hours online mindlessly moving from one tasty snack to another. The funny thing is that I found I didn’t miss this kind of online snacking at all during my 14 days offline. In fact, what I started to crave in the absence of snacky content was longer, thoughtful articles and good books, reading that nourishes my mind.LNumerous studies have proven that such reading can improve brain function; some have even suggested it can make you a better person. So instead of funny cat pictures, dive into some of the great “long reads” that show up on your screen — stuff that actually changes how you look at the world. Better yet, pick up a novel or read a book about a topic that can benefit you in some way, whether it’s related to your job or your passions.(1)___ I’d forgotten a very important lesson all these years, which suggests I should spend only a reasonable amount of time online.(2)___ The writer suggests that you pick up a novel or read a book that benefits you in some way, whether it’s about your work or something you’re passionate about.(3)___ In the end, Miller found that the technology he started to criticize had little, if any, to do with the problems in his life.(4)___ On my winter holiday in Mexico, I tried not to surf the Internet all the time.(5)___ In fact, what I learned from this brief experiment is similar to Miller’s.(6)___ Actually, Miller realized that without the Internet he became even more disconnected from life.(7)___ The writer has been online all the time, and he wants to free himself from the digital reality for a while.(8)___ The writer compares easily accessible, cheap, simple and addictive online information to snacks.(9)___ The writer felt that the difference between virtual and real world sometimes became unclear.(10)___ I was thinking about how immersing myself in technology has offered me some of the most rewarding moments of my life.
