abstract
Human life on earth is rapidly moving towards digital world rather than eco-friendly one. By addicting to the digital objects, people are feeling themselves lost in the real world. This is because everything is tied up with the digital technologies right from the morning to evening in the human life and digital objects become a part of normal life of the human beings. In this digital world humans are spending much time with their electronic gadgets such as mobiles, laptops, smart watches rather than the friends, family, nature and surrounding environment. The present study aims at knowing about digital detox, how to do the digital detox, advantages and disadvantages of the digital detox. There are six steps to do the digital detox. Advantages like productive usage of available time, reduced stress, good sleep, good relationships with each other, improved communication skills, living in the real world and accepting the reality arise out of digital detox. Though there are many such advantages, there are few disadvantages of digital detox such as work related or professional problems, inability to access the important information whenever it is needed. So, there should be a balance between the two sides of detox so that the connections whichever we were losing can be reconnected to a maximum extent.
