​Tech and your health

I wouldn’t call myself a tech fiend. I am a nerd, definitely, and it would be fair to say I have a love/hate relationship with tech. My wife is a bit cozier with it however. Yes, I am a little jealous.
​
I am writing today about why we all need a break from technology on a regular basis. You hear stories about people going down a “rabbit hole” of information, or sometimes dis-information. On the WEB, one thing always leads to another, and there is simply no end.
Take a break. Stop looking at that screen. Get some fresh air, take a hike, read a book! I did finally finish Moby Dick and I LOVED it. It was funny, endlessly quotable, and I learned a lot about whales. The actual chasing down of Moby Dick is just a small part of it near the end. When someone asks me what I want to drink, “I only drink the tepid tears of orphans”.
OK, so the article you should check out is HERE. 

I like a lot of what it has to say. I’m not sure about downloading a therapy app, on the other hand, we are talking to AI all the time when we call customer support or interact with support in a chat. Perhaps it is OK? Another one, I LOVE my fitness tracker, though it does not rule me as much as it probably should. That seems the opposite of getting away from tech, but it does help me get moving.
