Living without the Internet – Is it possible ?
eBook [ePub]
Résumé
In a world where screens dictate our every move, questions about mental health, inequality and technology dependence have never been more urgent. This mini‑book, published by Publisher : Five Minutes as part of the MONDES CONNECTÉS collection, asks : is living without the Internet really possible ? Across six structured sections, the author dissects the digital divide that still leaves 2.2 billion people offline, analyses the explosion of disorders linked to hyper‑connectivity, and explores the rise of digital detox and digital minimalism movements.
You will discover how isolated villages and communities such as the Amish live without networks, while Generation Z embraces “dumbphones.” Recent studies show that even a week without social media can reduce anxiety by 16 % and depression by 25 %, but the effects fade quickly. Underlying the discussion is a powerful idea : the problem is not technology itself, but how we use it. The book offers concrete recommendations for instituting screen‑free periods, turning off notifications and encouraging public policies that promote equitable access.
Engaging, well‑documented and critical, this book invites readers to reflect on their relationship with digital tools and to find a balance between connectivity and well‑being. A must‑read for anyone who wants to take back control of their time and attention.
