Consciously Digital

It is a fundamental right for people to connect AND disconnect, and be in control of what information they share (and with whom) Technology should help us achieve our goals and live according to our values (instead of distracting us from them) In the digital age, it is increasingly important to develop skills which make us more human, instead of behaving like machines Product builders (including designers and developers) and marketers are responsible for their technology’s impact on humans and society We acknowledge the positive impact that technology can have on our lives (including health, career opportunities and social connections). It is unrealistic and unnecessary to get rid of digital technologies completely, but in order to continue to thrive, we need to ensure that technology remains a tool. We share the values of sustainable development organizations and of the slow movement, and believe that it’s essential for the future of humanity to be able to periodically disconnect, to cultivate deep focus, and to reconnect with nature.
