Finished Tech Disconnect Project

Now that I'm done with my technology disconnect project, I have realized how much my life is actually based around technology. I use technology and my phone way more than I should in a day. I learned that I miss out on a ton of stuff that I should be paying attention to. Without having my phone or any technology for 24 hours, I was more focused on what I was doing during those hours. I spent more time with the ones I loved and was more focused on my job at work and getting things done. For example, I spent some time with my boyfriend and since I wasn't able to use my phone, he also put his away for a while too. We got to spend quality time with each other more than we ever have and were basically forced to find things to do together and enjoy each others company better than ever. Doing this project made me realize that, without having technology around, you can enjoy the things around you and be more aware of what's going on around you and in the world. It taught me so much and I'm actually very glad that I did it, even with all of the temptations!
