Summary
On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses his break-up… with wearable tech. Once an obsessed smartwatch and sleep ring user, Tommy realized that being constantly plugged into technology was creating more anxiety than actual benefit. We already spend nearly every waking moment attached to our phones, so why are we now wearing technology all over our bodies too, all day and all night? This is Tommy’s story of going from fully connected to completely unplugged when it comes to wearable tech, and why life on the other side feels oh so good. For anyone looking to create a little more space, presence, and peace in your relationship with technology, this episode is for you.
