Inhaltsangabe

Digitox is the story behind one family’s decision to create ‘‘Tech free Sunday’s’’. A day where there is no Internet usage – by choice. Meaning no email, social networking, texting or You Tube. Not even checking the weather forecast. The book covers their experiences over a three-year period and highlights the challenges; benefits and the pitfalls that they feel could have been avoided…

• A realistic, non-judgmental and balanced view of how to reduce technology consumption based on three years of practical experience and research.

• Includes a step by step guide to breaking the addiction.

• Follows the dieting approach of ‘‘eat less, do more.’’

• Highlights how to manage you and your children’s digital life including how to set up key parental controls and understanding your broadband router.

Mark and his wife Caroline have four children Ben (17), Gabriel (15), Jessica (13) and Noah (7) with Mark being a self confessed Tech Addict. A few years ago they realized that technology was impeding their family life – arguments were breaking out over which TV show to watch, the Wii caused more fights than they care to remember, Mark looking at his phone during a meal while Caroline watched a show on the kitchen iMac. Sound familiar?

The solution - it simply started as a day of banning the Internet, which turned into a family mission to take a step back from the digital age for one day a week.

This is not a book about the evils of technology, but it will teach you how to successfully diet your consumption of the Internet and make yourself and your family happier, healthier, safer and smarter.
