  <description> Is disconnecting still&amp;amp;nbsp;an option?&amp;amp;nbsp;   Being connected is no longer something we think about;&amp;amp;nbsp;it’s&amp;amp;nbsp;just something we do, all the time. In this episode, we explore the shift from the internet’s early promise to today’s constant demand for our attention.&amp;amp;nbsp;   We hear from four people as they navigate the struggle to manage screen time, social media, and the quiet pressure to always stay connected.&amp;amp;nbsp;   Drawing on these stories alongside her own, Suzanne&amp;amp;nbsp;N’Gouandi&amp;amp;nbsp;reflects on&amp;amp;nbsp;the subtle ways our phones affect how we interact with people around us, and why it is so difficult to step away, even when we want to. We also hear from Luke, whose relationship with digital media affected&amp;amp;nbsp;his mental well-being, eventually leading him to become a digital minimalist.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   This episode&amp;amp;nbsp;is an invitation&amp;amp;nbsp;to pause, reconsider&amp;amp;nbsp;your time&amp;amp;nbsp;spent&amp;amp;nbsp;online, and reflect on what it truly means to disconnect in an always-connected world.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   ----------------&amp;amp;nbsp;   Want&amp;amp;nbsp;to learn&amp;amp;nbsp;Luke’s story&amp;amp;nbsp;further ?&amp;amp;nbsp;     Against the current Against the Current: Living Offline in an Online World&amp;amp;nbsp;     https://www.amazon.co.uk/Against-Current-Living-Offline-Online/dp/1789633834&amp;amp;nbsp;     The adventure of a digital outsider&amp;amp;nbsp;     https://www.freewebstore.org/jellybeanbooks/product/the-adventures-of-a-digital-outsider&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   &amp;amp;nbsp;   &amp;amp;nbsp;     Music&amp;amp;nbsp;     &amp;amp;nbsp;   Connect The Dots TV (2015)&amp;amp;nbsp;Connect the Dots 2015: The Promise of the Internet.&amp;amp;nbsp;September 6.
