The average American uses technology 24/7. We are covered in it, and we don't even notice. The average American spends 3.2 hours a day on social networks, and check their phone 110 times per day. I personally believe those statistics don't apply to me. I think I am half of what the average is, but I replace those hours using technology elsewhere.
My job requires me to use technology constantly. I have kind started doing little film projects around the state. The applications that really make my job easier: Google Drive, and Dropbox. These have been a great tool for me to use. These applications allow me to work with people in other cities, its great!
My fast from technology occurred over spring break, and I will say it was hard. Just the torturous feeling not being able to do what I love. I love taking pictures, videoing, and more. These things all involve technology. I rely on my phone to wake me up in the morning, and I rely on technology to help pay my bills.
Luckily for the fast I did it on the weekend from Saturday to Sunday. I took a little journey to Zion, the entire time I was there I wanted to take pictures. I knew for this assignment I had to remove technology from my life so I left my camera at home. I spent most of the day hiking, so when I got home I was exhausted. When I got home I was able to just read a little and go to bed. My Sunday was a great day I spent a lot of time just sleeping.
I was happy to get my technology back. It did feel good to get away just because my phone gives me stress. If I ever need a break I know I can just turn off my phone.
