What if the internet (bar WhatsApp 😊) started at 8AM and stopped at 6PM every day?

Imagine a world where you are allowed (or forced) to be disconnected: from 6PM to 8AM, no internet.

Allowed to wake up early in the morning and enjoy some silence if you can…

Able to quiet your brain and senses after a long day at work or at school.

Really interact with the teenager(s) of the house! Their phones would be useless then…

Free to be fully present while watching a TV show without googling about it!

Enjoy nice family time around the very same activity.

Properly wind down before bed, read whole pages of a physical book …

Consult a physical encyclopaedia for research!

Experience boredom, hear you own thoughts, not those of some guru youtuber or podcaster telling you how to finally get rich, or finally land the partner of your dream, or finally beat your stubborn belly fat (those damn hormones…)!

Could you see yourself in such a world?

Not my son who was adamant this could not work: “Nah Mum, for example how would football games be watched?” he asked… “Well, the football industry would just have to adapt”, I replied…

Some time in the near future, I predict being disconnected will actually cost money!

I’m still allowed to dream aye …
