The Politics of Unplugging

We debated posting anything about politics since the beginning of the Unplug Project. It is an area we have purposefully wanted to avoid due to the decisiveness of the topic – no matter where you might be on the political spectrum. While we wish to remain neutral on the issues of government, policy, social issues, and public commentary, we do believe in a healthy balance of information flow and media consumption.

Taking a digital detox and unplugging during chaotic moments of political division can not only reduce stress, but also help put the issues of the day into a better, more positive, perspective.

Some of you may respond to the idea of unplugging during times of political change in a negative way, suggesting we are encouraging you to be silent on issues you may hold very personal.  To this we simply ask you to listen and be open to the idea of taking a small step back to see the bigger picture around all of us.
