There was a time when things like mobile phones and internet were not present in our lives. Even if they were present, they were very expensive and in limited quantities. Since the circumstances have changed and both these resources have become cheaper, humans are less interested in the world around them and more interested in the digital world. It is difficult to even imagine how the whole day will pass without a phone and internet.
However, a PhD student living in the neighboring country China has done a similar experiment. He not only left his mobile phone for two-four days but for the entire four and a half months, but he was also not using the internet. While sharing the experience he got from this experiment, he has told many interesting things.
I stayed without phone and internet for 134 days
According to a report in the South China Morning Post, a man named Yang Hao, born in the 90s, is pursuing a PhD from a British university. He left his hometown Taiyuan in November last year and returned home in April this year. During this time, he travelled to 24 states but did not access technology or the digital world. He did not use a mobile phone, internet or computer during his entire journey. He had only 2 cameras with him, which could not be connected to the internet.
People thought they were aliens,
Actually Yang is doing research on the impact of digitalization on people’s lives. In such a situation, he was experimenting on what life would be like without a phone and internet. Yang says that whoever knew during the journey that I do not use a mobile, was stunned. Some would think that something bad has happened to me, while others would ask if I was on some special duty. They could not believe that I was from this time. It felt as if I had come on a journey from ancient times to modern times.
