Digital detox destination

A question for my readers: Could you go on a seven-day getaway on a tropical island and leave behind your cell phone, smartphone, tablet or laptop? No access to the Internet, texting, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Linkedin or, dare I say it, television?

Digital detox trips are a new way for families to reconnect and communicate with each other. One resort in Maui even offers a digital detox getaway that has all technology removed to even include the clock!

If you are starting to hyperventilate at the mere thought of this, maybe consider only three days or even one?

Technology is a part of our daily lives, whether for business or personal, and it is here to stay. If the idea of one of these trips raises your anxiety level or makes you anxious, then this might be just what the doctor ordered. The old adage “all things in moderation” could not be truer when it comes to technology.

What do you think about the digital detox vacation? Let me know at Facebook.com/JenniferVanstonDigitalCandy) or tweet me @JenniferVanston.
