How Three Totally Wired Teenagers (and a Mother Who Slept with Her iPhone) Pulled the Plug on Their Technology and Lived to Tell the Tale
The author of The Mask of Motherhood shares the whimsical story of how her family avoided communications technology for six months, a haphazard journey that taught them how to connect with each other in traditional and more meaningful ways. Original.

While the book did meander and rely heavily on well-research statistics, I did find that it raised a lot of interesting points and made me think more conscientiously about my screen-time.
I wish there had been more analysis at the end of the book about what happened six months after “the experiment” since it ended on a media binge that seemed to be so counter-productive. I felt like it left off the moral of the story.
Overall, I found that I am much more aware of all the beeps, blips and constant electronic noise in my life and how it may be taking away from more visceral experiences.
