24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week

Product Information

i've been thinking a lot the past few weeks about how technology and social media serves me, and if it is serving me in a positive or negative way. This reunites Jack with his nephew Josh Bauer and sister-in-law Marilyn Bauer who tells him that Audrey Raines is dead. I don't know, this book has gotten such amazing reviews, and I'm actually not sure I talked to anyone who didn't like it, so maybe give it a try if you find this topic interesting but personally I wouldn't recommend it.

This is pretty harsh, I know; Tiffany Schlain seems a nice enough person, if pretty blind to how most of us actually live. Can she give me one good reason to believe that most of the world won't be a smoking ruin of a refugee camp in 20-50 years (except for people like her, of course)?Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

Jack pays a surprise visit to Graem at his house, where he meets Graem's son, Josh, and wife, Marilyn, with whom Jack was previously involved.

She has some good ideas as far as her one tech free day per week premise is concerned, but nothing I haven't really heard before. I will say that the last 10 chapters were not really necessary and a lot of the memoir sections did not really add to the book. Phillip's operatives arrive on a boat, and in exchange for Josh they hand over an item which turns out to be a bomb. I appreciated that Shlain from the beginning acknowledged that even the ability to unplug one day a week/on the weekend is a privilege.

There’s no secret agenda to get you to delete all your socials and pretend the internet doesn’t exist. For three decades, Tiffany Shlain has been a poster child for the utility and promise of technology.

I was over the moon to be in The New York Times in an article about the relationship between Thanksgiving and Tech Shabbats.

I would've loved to hear from a wider range/more diverse set of people about how the 24/6 life works for them.When the pandemic blended our professional and personal lives by forcing many of us to work from home, we learned a valuable lesson about tech. The original trailer for the sixth season opens with Kiefer Sutherland breaking the fourth wall and thanking the fans. Wayne's plan is revealed to have been a ruse to force the Middle-Eastern country to fully cooperate. The forty years that intervened before the destruction of Jerusalem were full of these in all directions; but we may probably think of the words as referring specially to wars, actual or threatened, that affected the Jews, such, e.
