Digital Noise by Eric Ogden I have noticed how much I use my devices: computer, phone, iPad, etc to just nervously pass the time. It is at a level now that I never would have allowed in the past. About a year ago, after going through some tough times with my mother, I basically said to myself “whatever you need to do to get through this, just allow it” and so I binge-watched TV shows, incessantly checked my phone for emails, Instagrams, Facebook, you name it. Opening the door (in the past I was very strict with myself about that kind of stuff) to this really let it unfurl into my consciousness. I have literally had dreams where I was checking my phone for various things–that’s when you know it has sunk into your subconscious. Being able to sit gives me some space from that. But all of those devices, all that social media, all that connectivity, is never far away. j.mp/DigitalNoise Image by Marsel van Oosten via National Geographic
