Summary | Psychological tests confirm that the mere presence of a smartphone, no matter who it belongs to or whether it is ringing, decreases one's level of empathy for others. In light of this sobering fact we must make an effort to develop a healthy relationship with our smartphones because meany of us are indeed somewhere on the addiction spectrum. The author has experimented with deleting all social media and e-mail apps off of her smartphone: though it is difficult at first, and also enlightening about one's level of addiction, this step has ultimately decluttered her mind and calendar. She still has a 24 hour response rate to emails, which is acceptable. She is now trying to implement technology-free meetings at her workplace.

Summary | Today, smartphones and social media are everywhere, even when you go abroad. It can be tempting to spend too much time using the smartphone - and miss valuable travel experiences such as being spontaneous and seeing the unexpected. Still, social media can be a great tool to enhance your travel experience by connecting with locals on their regional social media platforms (for longer stays abroad) or to get tips from other travellers who have been there. It is also very important to document your travels for yourself, to be able to remember all the experiences made while travelling.
