For 24 hours, avoid using your mobile device or a computer for any

Consider including discussion about the following:

A. How you felt going without communication (anxiety, relief,

stress, peace, etc.).

B. How you felt going without access to digital information

(empowered, helpless, out of the loop, etc.).

C. How you think going without digital communications impacts

your quality of life, productivity, and/or routines.

D. Based on your experience, give two or three recommendations

for how professionals should go about handling digital

communication and information.
