ive just returned from the most amazing place im not talking about hawaii where i spent the holidays with my daughters my sister and my exhusband though it was lovely and all the more so because of the foot of snow thats greeted my return to new york im talking about the week i spent unplugged away from email social media and tv occasionally unplugging from all our devices and technodistractions is one of those seemingly small adjustments that actually have the power to transform the way we see the world live our lives and interact with the people who matter most to us the unplugged version of myself was better able to give these things my full attention which as daniel goleman says is a form of love and i was able to remember to paraphrase louis ck that no device or screen can match the hd quality of the actual world we made it looking back on our unplugging challenge
