UNPLUG: DISCONNECTED HOLIDAYS

DIGITAL - 'DisconnectedHolidays.com is the sweetest escape from the everyday life cycle. It is a service that helps you to disconnect from the things that stress you. You can send your mobile phone, laptop or calendar away for a certain period of time. By doing so, you disconnect from the rest of the world and concentrate on yourself and your loved ones.'

For a while now, we have been talking about 'The Big Disconnect', we live in a world of omnipresent Internet and highly networked lives. With devices buzzing and screens blinking for our attention, where does it stop? Our hunch is that in 2012 we will see the first big digital switch off to coincide with the final broadcast of an analog television signal [in the UK].

Just a few weeks ago we blogged about the Web 2.0 Suicide Machine, we predict there will be a wave of new digital products to help you unplug and switch off. Perhaps our nAPP app wasn't such a bad idea...
