Hi all,
I ve been playing with an idea for a little while and would like to sound out your opinion/interest.
- Would you be interested in sort of "pop-up" phone-free events/spaces?
- How would you feel about say, a cafe opening occasionnaly (once a month, once a week..) to become a phone-free space. No smart phone allowed. Bring your book, newspaper, friends, or none of these and just enjoy a quiet time sipping your coffee, gazing outside..
Could be a place where you would enjoy going for lunch, knowing that lunch time will mean phone detox. Not just you, but you wouldn't see anyone on their phone around you.
My ideas extended to the possibility of phone-free spaces in public areas...
Also where kids are concerned, how could we encourage kids to get off their phones, by creating phone-free events, spaces for them too.
Anyway, it's a wide open conversation. I am interested in how people would feel about these ideas... And might have other ones along the lines of "let's create spaces where we can reconnect with ourself and each other". And regain control of our attention.
Looking forward to your feedbacks.
Thank you in advance,
Julie
