Translation
In modern society, it is extremely difficult to stay away from smartphones and computers. This is because being constantly connected to the internet, both at work and in private life, has become the norm. However, placing oneself in an environment of information overload puts a strain on the mind and body without us even realizing it. Therefore, 'digital detox' has been gaining attention recently. It is an attempt to rest the brain by refraining from using digital devices for a certain period. Even just spending a few hours on the weekend without looking at a screen, spending time in nature, or reading a book can clear your head surprisingly well. Precisely because they are convenient tools, it is necessary to have the courage to consciously keep a distance from them at times.
