Presenter: So, we're back in the studio.
Welcome back, everyone. My name's Rick Walker.
From our laptops to our televisions, from the displays on our smartphones to those on our
satnavs, we are in front of screens all the time. Have you ever wondered what it would be like
to disconnect completely? To choose not to have access to the internet? If you have, you may
be in need of a digital detox – a total switch-off from all things digital. The idea of people
taking a digital detox is becoming more and more popular, especially amongst young people –
