The Digital Disconnect: Finding Our Way Back to Humanity
In a world where the average American spends over seven hours daily staring at screens, what would happen if someone went completely screen-free for seven weeks? This question led Carlos Whittaker on a radical journey that transformed not just his relationship with technology, but with himself and everyone around him. The experiment was structured in three phases: two weeks with Benedictine monks in California, two weeks with an Amish family in Ohio, and three weeks at home applying what he'd learned. Before starting, neuroscientist Dr. Daniel Amen conducted brain scans to measure the physiological effects of the digital detox. The results would later prove startling. What began as an investigation into screen time quickly became something much deeper-a rediscovery of what makes us fundamentally human in an increasingly digital world. As Whittaker realized, those seven hours daily on his phone could translate to seven years of his remaining life spent scrolling. Was the trade-off worth it? The answer would challenge everything he thought he knew about connection in our modern age.
