ABSTRACT:
Digital Fasting a concept not well - known but going to be a realization soon. In today’s tech driven world where people are dependent upon gadgets every single minute for every possible task, keeping the gadgets away from using some hours everyday is a challenging task. Cybercrimes like UPI frauds, digital arrests, cyberbullying and cyberchondria, are giving sleepless night to users and lawmakers. Digital harm is affecting all dimensions of health today and has made it mandatory for all of us to take a break from the virtual world and open our eyes to real world The idea of digital fasting explains that for some hours everyday we have to stop using mobile, laptop, tv or any other media engaging our audio-visual senses, where we loose awareness with surroundings. It can be implemented in households as a norm with suitable timings for all and the results are expected to be awesome.
