The Digital Blackout tells the story of a high school that conducted a "Social Experiment." They challenged their student body (and faculty) to put away the Facebook and Twitter, the text and instant messaging, and record their experience.
The Digital Blackout is eye opening. It highlights, among other things:
The astounding amount of time that we routinely devote to online social networks
The face-to-face experiences and real friendships that the internet has maybe devalued
The stress brought on by our over-connectedness
And (yes!) the many benefits of our digitally inter-connected world that one rightly misses during a Blackout.
The Digital Blackout also includes the latest research on the effects of multitasking and social networking from acclaimed Stanford Professor Clifford Nass. In the excerpt below, Nass explains the importance of face-to-face relationships and the impact they have in developing one's emotional intelligence.
The Digital Blackout is equal parts intriguing documentary, motivation for a fun challenge, and fascinating social experiment for the 21st century.
