An earlier post discussed how the prevalence of mobile technology and social media applications are having significant impact on personal safety and security. Technology, Safety, and Personal Security? portrayed how the advent of smartphones, tablet computers, other mobile gadgets and social applications are impacting the nexus of behavior, and physical safety.? In his article featured on the New York Times website, ?Silicon Valley Says Step Away From the Device?, Matt Richtel addresses another dimension of concern on the immersive quality of technology.? What is the impact of constant connection to the general health and wellness of people who are always plugged-in??
?The emerging conversation reflects a broader effort in the valley to offer counterweights to the fast-paced lifestyle. Many tech firms are teaching meditation and breathing exercises to their staff members to help them slow down and disconnect.?
With a focus on the cauldron of tech innovation, Silicon Valley, Matt Richtel?s article illustrates how the torrential, fast-paced evolution of the technology world has caused all levels of industry staff and consumers to lose touch with a mindful and balanced life-style.? Whether driven by genuine neurochemical addiction or poor work-life balance habits, tech executives and mental health practitioners are questioning the affects of constant connection and immersion of digital technology on people?s general well being. ??Richtel?s article quotes Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google, as saying ??we can be swept away by our technologies.?? In response to these concerns, many of the very people responsible for creating the technology and for driving consumers? constant engagement with it are now advocating methods to ?disconnect?.? The tech industry is increasingly promoting mindfulness and wellness practices such as meditation and yoga to develop a healthier and more balanced life-style.? An annual conference, Wisdom 2.0, has even been operating since 2010 to support the movement.
