How do you feel about the techniques that those mentioned in the article used to become "unplugged"? Choose 1 technique mentioned, or 1 other technique that you have heard of, and explain why it would be a good idea to incorporate this into your life, so that you can become at least a little "unplugged".
I think putting your phone in a box and a certain time is a good technique. it would be a good technique for i wont use my phone so much. when i really don't need it.
ReplyDeleteI really like what brandon holley did with her phone to stay off of it. just throwing your phone in a random box or just even a drawer is a good way to stay "unplugged". this would be a good thing to incorporate into my life so i can actually study and get my work done instead of just sitting on my phone.
ReplyDeleteI really think putting your phone away till after dinner is a great idea. I know for myself, my phone gets in the way of doing my homework and chores. If we put our phones away, the outcome will be better. Your chores will be done, your homework will be done and you'll be able to spend better quality time with your family. It's a win-win situation either way.
ReplyDeleteI think its a good thing once in a while to get off your phone. At camp for a week they make us give our phones to our guardian and stay phone free for a week. Without the phone i could see more of the beauty of nature, and meet many amazing people. No drama what-so-ever!
ReplyDeleteI think that the idea of taking a break from cellphones once in while is a good idea. I liked the idea of no cellphones at the dinner table. I liked this idea because when you eat dinner with your family, it is suppose to be a time to talk with your family about your day and what is going on. This was the only idea I liked because that is honestly the only time you need to be off of your phone.

DeleteI feel the techniques mentioned were good ideas. Everyone is constantly on their phones all day everyday which makes it hard to communicate with people such as family members and friends. Kids in school should also do it so they aren't distracted by a notification on the phone when doing their homework and have a better chance of getting the work done and understanding it better.
ReplyDeleteThe technique that i would choose to use in my life to be unplugged from my phone would probably be the 6:30-8:30 pm" dint pick up your phone". I would try and figure something to do within those two hours of my day. I could do homework, or hangout with my family, watch a movie, etc. Its a good way to charge your phone too, that way it fully charged for later.
ReplyDeleteI liked the technique of putting your phone in a box.like how Brandon Holley mentioned in the article,she would put her phone in a milk tin.i would do the same ,but instead put it in a box.some of the examples were helpful.i would like to stay more "unplugged" and spend more time studying.
ReplyDeleteI think its a good idea for people to keep their phones away from them. I think the box story where you keep your phone in the box is just right because it keeps you away from it , you can't see when someone texts you or calls you, like you wont hear the beeping or ringing because the box is completely covering it away. It'll help out with getting to get closer with others.
ReplyDeleteI like the phone stack idea. I actually used to do this with my small group at my church. We didn't have any consequences like having to pay money if we took our phone out. It was a good way for us to be "unplugged" while hanging out with one another. I will sometimes just turn my phone off or put it in another room when I get home. This helps me to "unplug" and spend time with my family too.

ReplyDeleteI know all about being "unplugged". My mom gave me a technique, its called being grounded. Yes Its helped me stay away from my phone. And it works very effectively. Because I cant get my phone out if I wanted to. My grades are a lot better and I am able to enjoy the things in life that i usually don't because I'm distracted by my phone. I hate this method and its painful but hey it works.
ReplyDeletei think the phone stacked idea was very creative. it not only helps you learn you can live without your cell phone and also lets you know that not only you but other people have the same cell phone addiction.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the phone stack when going out to dinner. When my family and I go out to eat we very rarely associate with each other. I believe if my family and I use this technique it will help us all get along better and realize the value of communication in a family. We may begin to get along better and it would cause less fights at home because of the lack of communication between us all. The next time my family and I go out to eat I'm going to suggest the phone stack and hopefully we will see positive results.
ReplyDeleteI like the Phone stack idea. When i'm with my friends we stack our phones so we actually spend time together. My phone usually stays under my dresser where i usually forget it for a good amount of time, Until my flash goes off due to notifications.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of "unplugging" may sound ridiculous to some people, but I think it is a great idea. The stack phone method seemed to be good way for friends and family connect. Also the consequence of paying the check is a brilliant idea because nobody likes to pay for a whole dinner. Another method that can be used to "unplug" is to leave your phone in another room while you are at home. This is a good idea because this allows you to do stuff you need to get done. In conclusion, I think "unplugging" is a fantastic idea because it allows you to connect more with family and friends, and it helps you do things that need to be done around the house.
ReplyDeleteCreating the "phone stacking" game helps discourage using the phone when in restaurants. It also helps people at the table socialize more with each other as they can't tune themselves out with their phones. I don't usually have this problem, but it would help with some other people though.
ReplyDeleteMe personally i would just put my phone up and something more active than just sitting there on it all day. The're multiple ways of staying unplugged like what they do at the dinner table they stack there phones up while they eat. but honestly i thing they need to put there phone in another room because while they are eating all they would think about is there phone because it is sitting in front of them the whole time.I also like the fish bowl idea. I think this idea is better than the phone stack at the dinner table.

DeleteI believe leaving my phone in another room during dinner is a good idea. Normally i would have a bit of trouble staying off my phone during such a time, but with this technique i can really have a nicer time with my family. during dinner i constantly worry about who is texting me. by leaving my phone else where i dont need to think about it until afterwards. in the end i think i will be "unplugging" a little more often from now on.
ReplyDeleteI think the phone stack idea was the best. It probably works the best also because you stack them in the middle f the table and if you look at it they will see you looking at it. At home around dinner time i put it upstairs in my room and put it on the charger while i eat. Sometimes i forget it until i go up to my room to go to bed. Anything works to keep them out of the way, but my overall favorite was the phone stack.
ReplyDeleteI think these techniques can be a really good idea. By using the techniques mentioned in the article, everyone would manage there time more efficiently. People would not have such rude behaviors and would know how to get along with people more. The modern technology has made many people lose time in the present. If you look around. there is always one person with a device out. Whether it is a phone or and ipod, these devices make people spend there time on the internet rather than by spending time with there family and friend. I think that if people use these techniques, everyone would cherish their time more.
ReplyDeleteI like the phone stack idea such as me and my family went out to eat we would all put our phones in the middle of the table so all of our attention is on me and my family i would be more committed to learn to what my family would have to say and i would not be worried about social media and talking to friends while i am having dinner with my family.
