Digital Minimalism discussion
<p>Let's talk about our relationships with our smartphones! If you've noticed that you spend more time on your phone than socializing, lamented a change in your attention span, or fought to beat a Candy Crush addiction, you're not alone. </p><p>"Minimalism is the art of knowing how much is just enough. Digital minimalism applies this idea to our personal technology," according to Cal Newport, author of <em>Digital Minimalism: choosing a focused life in a noisy world</em>.</p><p>Library staff will summarize the main ideas found in <em>Digital Minimalism</em> among other sources, and we'll have an informal discussion about the impact of technology on our lives. You'll leave with ideas for improving your phone habits.</p><p>There's no required reading before the discussion, but participants may be interested in checking out Cal Newport's book <a href="https://catpro.icpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1551737"><em>Digital Minimalism</em></a>, listening to <a href="http://www.iowapublicradio.org/post/stop-using-your-smartphone-fight-loneliness-it-s-not-working#stream/0">his appearance on Iowa Public Radio</a>, or reading his <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/25/opinion/sunday/steve-jobs-never-wanted-us-to-use-our-iphones-like-this.html">editorial to the New York Times</a>. There are many other people writing on this topic, too, so feel free to bring ideas from other sources to share.</p><p>Registration is optional. Join us for a potentially life-changing talk!</p> 2020-01-14 20:30:00 -0600
