Switch Off & CONNECT!

Have you noticed lately how we humans are totally addicted to technology.....

The every day person cannot function any longer without access to their mobile phone, laptop or tablet.

Screens of every kind and electronic devices have replaced real faces and real conversations. We prefer to text our friends rather than pick up the phone and call them. We choose to announce big news on Facebook & Instagram rather than meet up for a drink with others to celebrate. And we go looking for love on websites and using mobile phone apps instead of meeting people face to face.

And we are creating new generations of addicts.....who only know how to connect with people through screens. The rates of obesity, depression and suicide are higher in our current society than ever before. We have more and immediate ways to communicate now AND we are less connected with ourselves and others than ever before!

Fundamentally, we are living in a world where the majority of the population is now blind, deaf and dumb to each other!

And with it, comes fears of being without our electronic devices such as nomophobia (fear of being out of mobile phone contact (en.m.wikipedia.org) and

Make a pledge to switch off all the screens in your day-to-day life for a 24 hour period on Sunday 21 September 2014.

Everything from your computer or laptop, to your mobile phone, tablet, iPod and your television
