With all the new gadgets flooding the market of electronic technology (iPhone, Ipads, Droids and such), Watchdogs and Oksana Yoga present a new campaign: Touch People, not Phones!

The goal of this campaign is to encourage human face-to-face communication, embrace, emotional support and personal interaction. So many people find themselves in front of computer screens at work 40 hours a week and touching their phones after working hours, that “real life” interaction is slowly becoming obsolete. Let us reverse this phenomenon by reclaiming what makes us human.

Suggested things to do:
• Switch to simple phone with 10-key buttons and no internet
• Hug people
• Pet animals
• Meet people in “real life” instead of online
• Keep in touch by visiting friends, gathering for social occasions
• Replace phone conversations with face-to-face interactions (decrease your cell phone radiation
exposure)
• Leave your cell phone at home when going for walks, hiking, etc.
• Practice Digital Detox Days by avoiding using any electronic devices. Don’t worry, the internet world will still be there when you tune back in.
