You are part of the large tribe called\u00a0\"Sakaptoussakapteupa\": a species that likes to pace his vacation lost in the middle of nowhere, but at arm's length from the laptop, imploring the great wi-fi god to honor you with its waves. Member of this brotherhood is Sonia, 35, irritated ahead at the thought of spending\u00a0two weeks in a corner of the Landes moderately portable-incompatible. \"For my phone line, I will leave any calls\u00a0to go to my voice mail. But not Facebook<\/a> or Instagram for days...I'll miss it too much. \"<\/p>

The advice\u00a0of Pierre Massot, clinical psychologist and coach, organizer of Digital Detox stay at Chateau de la Gravel (Gironde): \"Our commitment to our technology tools\u00a0is\u00a0already starting to grab at our\u00a0free will. A stay in a place where one does not pick up the phone at all (or minimally)\u00a0offers an opportunity to question the link. What's happening in me when I feel this absence? Why is it so easy for my smartphone<\/a>\u00a0to distract me? Of course, the approach is less comfortable than to rush to one's\u00a0phone but it's liberating! One may question the same way about their\u00a0relationship to social relationships: the fear of missing something, of not being aware of everything, is not a manifestation of the ideal of omnipotence. A desire also to be known and recognised, because of the stigma that if I do not post, I do not exist. If we do not act with lucidity about the ties that bind us to these objects, they easily enslave us. The holidays are a good time for calming awareness into the game. I will end by reassuring your readers:. One who is really 'hooked' on his smartphone would never consent to reside\u00a0in a place without network!\"<\/p>
