This is what happened. Last year, at my school in Gloucester, England, we answered, a survey and 75% of students said they checked social ‘media constantly, and more than half said they wanted to control their use of social networking sites. So four students ‘organized a digital detox week. During this week, 400 ‘students and their teachers didn’t use any mobile devices athome or a school — no phones, tablets or laptops. Our school work improved during the experiment because We weren't distracted by our mobile phones. We kept a record of our feelings during that week. My friend Jess ‘wrote, ‘itisn't as hard as | expected and | even sleep better.” Hannah agreed, ‘| don't mind giving up instant messaging and | enjoy talking more with my friends during break.” ‘Most participants felt less stressed and realized they had more free time while they weren't using mobile devices. As result, my school banned mobiles all day for 11 to 13-year, ‘olds and 14 to 36-year olds can only use them at lunchtime.
