Plugged In: My Month-Long Mission To Beat The Effects Of Technology With More Technology
Posted: at 9:01 pm
My life was full of serendipitous events, real-life meetings, Frisbee, bike rides, and Greek literature, Verge writer Paul Miller explained after his year away from the Internet. After Baratunde Thurstons month unplugged, he gushed in Fast Company that, There were movies, there were food trucks, there were friends, there was mulled wine. There was brief consideration of a mulled-wine food truck. But above all, there was an expansion of sensations and ideas. And David Roberts, a prolific political blogger known as Dr. Grist, put the initial effects of his offline hiatus like this: I discovered that calm was like a drug. It felt so good, so decadent, just to sit in the early afternoon with my feet propped on the windowsill, watching wind brush the trees in the front yard.
I read these reports from the offline world with the drooling envy of an armchair traveler. I want Frisbee! I want bike rides! I want window gazing and food carts and mulled wine! I want to discover that calm thats like a drug.
But heres the thing: I have a job and a life that make it impossible for me to go offline for any extended amount of time.
What if the very same phenomenon we blame for all these issues, digital technology, could also help solve them?
I will admit that my daily work regimen--which involves two computer monitors, four simultaneous columns of chatter on TweetDeck, a Slack chatroom, two email accounts, and dozens of simultaneous tabs open in two different browsers--isnt doing much for my peace of mind. And research seems to be pointing in a pretty clear direction. One study found screen time somehow interferes with childrens ability to read emotion in others. Another, a correlation between multitasking and less gray matter in the area of the brain associated with cognitive and emotional functioning. Heavy multitasking has been correlated with an inability to focus, stress, depression, and anxiety. Studies even suggest multitaskers are, ironically, worse at multitasking than their single-tasking counterparts.
Unplugging, though, can't be the only answer. What if the solution to my tech problems was actually more tech? What if we don't need to hatch elaborate plans to lead analog lives?
This fall, those questions arrived on my desktop with the familiar dopamine rush of a new email notification ping. Eliminate distractions! the subject read, adding parenthetically, But not this email, it's important. It was a PR pitch for a neuroscience-based productivity tool that streams personalized music tracks and sounds to subtly engage your brains fight or flight response, allowing you better focus without your internal distractions. Maybe the claim was dubious, but it also seemed, oddly, worth a shot.
Like the digital rehab patients before me, I decided to embark on an immersive project: the inverse of unplugging. For a month, I would try a myriad of new products--sensors, brain-wave readers, breathing monitors, meditation apps, online happiness courses, and just about every focus tool I could get my hands on--in pursuit of a digitally enhanced zen.
Anxiety about technology has been around for as long as technology itself. When Henry Thoreau pioneered the unplug memoir more than 150 years ago--longing for the very simplicity and nakedness of man's life in the primitive ages," arguing that men have become the tools of their tools--the first commercial electronic telegram had just been tapped out in Morse code. Socrates famously argued that the most promising new technology of his day--the written word--would create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories.
This is way, way before Google.

MONTGOMERY: Scout creates meditation garden
Posted: at 9:01 pm
MONTGOMERY A new meditation garden is available for public use as a place of reflection at the Otto Kaufman Community Center in Montgomery.
Sahib Singh, a 16-year-old senior at Montgomery High School, planned and constructed the garden as his Eagle Scout project. The garden includes a small patio, benches, plantings, and an arbor in a serene natural setting, as he wanted to create a calm and relaxing space for the entire Montgomery community.
"In the community in general and in the high school particularly you see stress as a huge factor," Sahib said. "When I did my research I came across meditation as something that would be helpful to the community."
Sahib was motivated in part by a recent "Huffington Post" article, which stated, "Everyday life brings numerous challenges and stresses. Studies show that meditation is associated with improvement in a variety of psychological areas, including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, eating disorders and cognitive function, among others. There is also research to suggest that meditation can reduce blood pressure, pain response, stress hormone levels and even cellular health."
Sahib had to get township approval for the project as it is located on township property.
He also had to raise $2,100 for the project. Donations for the project came from the Montgomery/Rocky Hill Municipal Alliance, Cub Scout Pack 185, GDB International, Montgomery Shade Tree Commission, Lowes, Belle Mead Co-op, Belle Mead Orthodontics, Allstate Insurance, Mark Napolitano Landscape Architects, and Maples.
Larry Koplik, of the townships Shade Tree Commission, helped Sahib determine what to plant in the garden. His Eagle Scout adviser Paul Arutib oversaw the project and he also had help from his parents and Sunil Bagaria, a family friend, he said.
Sahib said he learned a lot about leadership during his Eagle Scout project, including how to accept help when it was offered to him and how to motivate people to help him.
"You just cant tell people what to do," he said. "You have to make them believe in your vision."
Sahib joined the Boy Scouts about six years ago.
