I definitely think we need more moments of peace and time away from the internet, especially social media. It's not easy though. I have found it helpful to go to meditation experiences that take away all internet connected devices for a period of time, usually 10 days.

I frequently do a "digital detox" on Sundays. Ten days...that would be tough for me, though. Couldn't work, etc.

It's called Vipassana. All around the world. 10 days of silent meditation. Not for everyone but very nice. Donation based.
