Are you “desperate to unplug”?
Pico Iyer — the bestselling author and a favorite Shambhala Sun contributor for many of our readers — has a new New York Times piece about our need to disengage from our gadgets. “In barely one generation,” writes Pico, “we’ve moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them — often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.”
“That’s why,” he proposes, “more and more people I know, even if they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi; these aren’t New Age fads so much as ways to connect with what could be called the wisdom of old age.” Read Iyer’s entire piece online here. (And for more, see our special Spotlight of Pico’s best articles from the Shambhala Sun.)
In fact, our gadget addiction is so bad that — as also addressed in Roger Cohen’s Times Op-Ed from today — that some companies — like Volkswagen — are more or less prohibiting their workers from checking their emails when they’re off the clock. A step in the right direction? Probably. “To be permanently switched on,” writes Cohen, “is also to switch off to what takes time to be seen. A lot of good ideas, as well as some of life’s deeper satisfactions, can get lost that way.”(See more on that, here.)
