This summer at Brains On we’re doing a digital detox. We’re calling it Analog August. It’s a month-long reminder to unplug and get out in the world. We’re not giving up our tech all together, that would be impossible. We’re just trying to be more thoughtful about when we use it. Because we could all use a chance to step back from our screens.
