Project 2 – Julien Gagnon

– Implemented tidbit about using books to trade scrolling time specifically, rather than just books replacing phones in general.

– Shifted objects to make easer to read.

– I’ve shifted my overall thinking to be about less about phones = bad and book = good, and rather how to replace designated scroll time with book time, and how it helps and has changed my overall thinking.

My project is about doing a digital detox and reading books instead of excessive smartphone usage. I did this using Canva to make an infographic that has enough info to get my point across with sources and facts, but few enough to not deter potential onlookers from heavy information. This is important to me because I myself have been trying to reduce screentime and have been reading books myself as an alternative and have been noticing the benefits!

I tested my project myself by exchanging a time I would usually scroll for some reading time, and I found that not only has my focus and sleeping improved, but my desire to be on my phone has dropped. From 4 hours daily avg  to 2!
