The 8-step technology detox
Can technology addict Andrew Lim give up gadgets? Can he replace the afternoon delight of Deal or No Deal with a home- made zoetrope? Or persuade a pigeon to deliver his text messages? One man attempts to swap bleeping tech for silent zen
At peace with technology

I'd learned a great deal on my technology detox adventure. I was more relaxed, I'd seen my friends more and learned some important lessons. Who'd have guessed that my zoetrope would have worked so well? Or that pigeons would be so difficult to train?
Like all proper detoxes, though, my zen-like calm didn't last for long. Once I'd finished my gadget starvation, I was straight back to the tech bingeing. A remote control gun you say? Yes please!
I guess I'll just have to face the fact that I'm an incurable tech addict -- I can give up for a few weeks, but the cravings will always get the better of me in the end.
