What happens when a digital native freak goes on a digital detox? | Anne van der Krol | TEDxHaarlem

Anne van der Krol has a confession to make: She felt pride proud after she found her friend at a bar without consulting Google Maps. And she gained more millenial milestones, when sending her 25.000th tweet. But a change occurred when she was asked to join this experiment, going on a digital detox for a full month. The 20-year-old student tells what happened and what you can gain by switching off your phone.
About the speaker
Anne is a second year student in Business Studies. Last year she swopped universities: from the crowded lecture rooms of the Free University of Amsterdam to the more personal contact at the University of Utrecht.

I don't understand the negative comments here. Smartphone addiction is a real problem, and this young lady has the courage to speak about it. It was a nice and important talk!

This is one of the worst and most pointless Ted talks I have ever seen..do not bother wasting your time on this. Bad public speaking skills and really learnt nothing from her. Very slow and boring speaker and not very clear what her point is. audio seems off too.
