Put the Damned Phone Down →
They sent children to a summer camp without mobile devices.
"After five days without phones or tablets, these campers were able to read facial emotions and correctly identify the emotions of actors in videotaped scenes significantly better than a control group. What fostered these new empathic responses? They talked to one another. In conversation, things go best if you pay close attention and learn how to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. This is easier to do without your phone in hand. Conversation is the most human and humanizing thing that we do."
If only I could turn on a Faraday cage during the time I spend at home during the holidays.
