Summary | Many people feel the need to restrict their technology use by taking a technology free or digital ‘detox’ holiday. Some tourist destinations already offer specific technology free accommodations, f.i. a monastery in Germany and a camp near Silicon Valley in California. Visitors are told to paint rather than instagram and talk to people rather than tweet. Ironically, these technology free spaces have become a luxury.

Summary | Several schools in Switzerland have prohibited the use of mobile phones inside their buildings. Educators would like the students to interact with each other face-to-face rather than stare at their smartphones. Students are very upset, and media experts claim that schools need to adapt to changing times and teach a pragmatic use of new media.
