Why do (almost) all people do this cell phone fast?
At least most of the people I know are unreachable for months at a time because they're on a phone fast. It just annoys me because sometimes there are important things to do with these people, and then they shoot themselves to the moon by doing this phone fast. Afterwards, there's a lot of screaming when they realize what important information they missed.
Do many people simply have such a disturbed relationship with their cell phones that it's necessary to prevent them from becoming completely addicted? Or is this the trend everyone is following this year, and I still don't understand it?
And no, I don't have a landline number from them and they only read emails every 2 weeks

The continuous consumption of digital media and the fast-paced time in which we are constantly exposed to new information is not good for our psyche. Therefore, some people take a break from smartphones.
I'm taking my work hand directly off when I leave the company and I'm no longer accessible to my colleagues.
I'm just laying my private phone away on weekends. Whoever has something important can call.
For most apps (including WhatsApp), the notifications are out and I'm still looking when I have time and not when the phone calls me.
If it were. Some of the people I know pull the plug in all the electronics, you might think. So they do not limit this to certain times, but do it very intensively for at least several days. One has done it for half a year, at all levels. Also not accessible via SMS or email.
I find that too extreme. I mean, you're losing contact.
Consciously consume and use less: Makes sense
Completely shut down: I find no sense in power, in the end one destroys his social contacts.
Yes, these people are then so radical that they do not want to accept that life reality is online today to some extent. And you don't get them completely gone.
I think so. Some people have made them angry and friendships have broken. Some have fallen through the exams because the crucial information has failed. Some have missed any deadlines.
Cell phones make you sick. It's important to get rid of it regularly.
“Cell phone fasting” is now a sensitive solution. I think it's better to decide every day: will I need the phone today? Then I'll take it. If I don't need it (whether or not listen to music) then I'll leave it at home.
Many are good… Almost all depend on their mobile phones and driven by fear of missing something.
If there is important information to transmit, you can also call on the mains, write an email or a letter. Where's the problem?
It doesn't want everyone to be accessible around the clock.
They are still not accessible on the other channels such as e-mail, landline etc. Letters are sometimes too slow.
I don't even do digging and listening to music. I think that's a problem with children, not with adults. Or I'm wrong.
It's more about not being constantly on the hot wire and getting the head free from stress.
If I am constantly accessible from work, I do not come to rest and therefore I am consistently unable to reach from work after 5 pm
If it stopped after 5:00 p.m. or so. Instead, the people I have to do it sometimes completely for a month to do mobile phone fasting or digital detox. In time it goes down and over, and then there are such things that you have to tell them because they are close to getting into any problems (everything that is suddenly changed and such things are). I'll have to watch each time they get to hell's kitchen. You can't help them anymore. Some people simply depend on their colleagues.
I honestly do not see where a mobile phone is to be indispensable for information transmission.
Imagine: Things have happened in the past. No one had the opportunity to reach someone on the way. By the way, life worked anyway and even better than today.
Well, but with friends and good colleagues, you're interested in not getting any unnecessary problems. When the Prof moved the presentation of our project presentation at the time, only I got the mail. It was very close that I was able to reach one of the fellow students and he almost had to go straight out of the bed to the meeting.
We're in a linked world. It's harder.
But at the end of the day someone is always home. And if a deadline changes, is it their thing? I'm not going behind. x)
I even gave up the phone usage. Some in the circle of friends sometimes have one for emergencies because of their children.
You just don't need it. You don't have to answer anything. It's time to watch WhatsApp at home.
I think mobile phones were a fashion for many years, but more and more people are losing their desire. I will no longer use one.
This is the most obvious reason. And if you want to reach them, get their landline number.
I think it's a good idea to do this when you realize that these media take too much time away from everyday life.
They don't give them out because they either only call authorities or the family, and they don't want them to count on friends and colleagues.
I can understand the reason. So I wouldn't really be accessible because I'm not home all day.
Then actually either helps to make sure that you should look more at the emails or just make the next meeting right at the meeting. Or to go personally, if possible.
Oh – this goes with letterheads and smoke marks, but much more elegant 😊
Well, in the end, this is often the solution. Sometimes I feel like a medieval postman 😆, just missing the post carriage.
I think that's a good thing. You are so or so much too attached to the phone. This also means a lot of stress for the body and mind. There's such a "handy fasting" really good and recommended. Please respect this.
Okay, but in some cases it hurts if you can't keep people from evil, which always arises, because they are not accessible.
You could just go there?
I'm just a pedestrian in my small town. I haven't got the car this week. The walk takes half an hour. Sometimes I don't have time to go there personally.
And if I know one thing about my people, that their apartment is holy to them and they don't want unannounced visits. They made it clear to me right at the beginning. That's what I think.
And yet not so bad means:
– Two really good friends have fallen through the exam because they had no access to the full learning material (but I already). Professor had written extra. Those in which it is technically possible should send the material to the other.
– We have only been able to keep the date for the project defense of a fat project, which has been pre-located two days before, by means of several coincidences.
– They have beaten several friends who have left for their feedback.
Well, that's not so bad.
Most of them aren't home. Besides, I don't want to stalk her either. So there are situations I don't like it myself when there are suddenly people standing in front of the door (eg when I'm in the process of sucking the apartment or clearing it up).
Because just a lot of people realize that they use social media too much.
Okay, that could be an important point. I've only installed WhatsApp myself, so I can only see what's going on. Maybe the data flood is significantly higher in Instagram, Signal, Telegram, Facebook or Snapchat. I don't know that.
