A new app helps.
Recently I underwent what is called a ‘Technology Cleanse’ – more commonly known as ‘Unplugging’. Yes, scientists and psychologists have been screaming from the rooftops that we are overusing our devices and need a clean break from them. Meditation has been recommended to help us with this break from devices. However, even with meditation apps, not all of us are able to meditate. Enter “Brain-Reading Sunglasses”. The new question becomes, “Can smart-phone connected sunglasses bring your mind to a place of peace?”
Technology for meditation: it sounds like a paradox, right? The whole point of meditation, in a sense, is to unplug. And yet, meditation tech has become wildly popular over the past year. Apple picked the app “Calm”, a mindfulness and meditation app, for its app of the year in 2017, and competitors like Headspace have developed loyal followings.
