"What’s a media-free zone?"

A MediaFreeZone™ (or MFZ) is a space in your home that you set aside as a quiet place. No computers, television, radio, music (unless you are making it) are allowed in this space. Reading is permitted, as is talking, drawing and writing. Any room in your home can qualify as an MFZ.

It's a place that family members and roommates know as a quiet area. In the same way that children are taught to respect quiet in a library, they will quickly grasp the concept of the MFZ.

"Are you anti-technology? Are you trying to be Amish or something?"

No. And no. But too much technology can numb you. Once in a while it’s good to escape from it.

"But I live in a studio apartment."

So make your bathroom the MFZ.

"What’s the point?"

Try it and find out.
