(Paul Joseph Watson) Students at a university in New York who took part in a test to go without their cellphones for a week reported that they felt refreshed, happier, more focused and more relaxed.

Participants at Adelphi University took part in the course in an effort to break their cycle of dependency and addiction.
One student, Jacob Dannenberg, said he had to go old school to get through the week, writing things down physically and using an actual alarm clock.
However, after the week ended he reported a complete turnaround in his life.
“I’m having a lot of better relationships… it’s a stress-free environment no pressure about social media,” said Dannenberg.

Adrianna Cigliano echoed the same sentiment, saying that without the phone, “I think it’s really refreshing and relaxing… I was able to fall asleep a lot easier.”
She also said that focus and concentration improved and that, “Doing homework was 100 percent easier. I got it done faster, and I was in the zone.”
Professor Donna Freitas questioned the damage smartphones were doing to young people’s lives.
“The fact that no one can focus, that my students can’t sleep… They feel bad about themselves because of social media, and the list goes on and on,” she said.
Students came out of the experiment wanting to drastically cut their screen time and live more in the moment.
“My screen time is definitely going to go down, and I’m going start to appreciate my surroundings more because usually I’m looking at my screen all the time,” Ashley Castillero said.
As we highlight in the video below, smartphone use is a major factor driving depression amongst young people but few people in the mainstream want to acknowledge it.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
In the modern world, we normally like to think we are highly advanced; and therefore, we must lead unquestionably better lives than our ancestors. And yet, we still suffer quite a bit. Contrary to popular belief, technology and industrial advances have not always resulted in positive benefits for life, looking to all domains of analysis in support. The preceding information alerts the public to the fact health and well-being have indeed been compromised by things we as a society have allowed to occur. Our ignorance, while providing a modicum of subjective bliss, comes at a heavy price for ourselves and our children. But with the power of truth in hand, one can properly identify the true causes of what ills us, and take steps to change so as to optimize wellbeing. In doing so, one alleviates stress, improves their health, and liberates the mind so as to focus on greater works of fulfillment, particularly those of an altruistic bent.
