"Secular Sabbath"

Em um artigo para o New York Times, Mark Bittman fala sobre sua experiência em reservar um dia da semana longe da tecnologia (celulares, computadores, televisão etc.).

Como ele declara:

"I would no more make a new-agey call to find inner peace than I would encourage a return to the mimeograph. But I do believe that there has to be a way to regularly impose some thoughtfulness, or at least calm, into modern life — or at least my version. Once I moved beyond the fear of being unavailable and what it might cost me, I experienced what, if I wasn’t such a skeptic, I would call a lightness of being. I felt connected to myself rather than my computer. I had time to think, and distance from normal demands. I got to stop. "
