December 2015 I ‘m traveling in
indonesia alone I’m turning with mine
scooter from one beach to another
at some point black sky begins to
it rained so impressive and I myself
I find myself in the middle of a downpour
tropical for those who know me knows
great that I do not have a great sense
of the orientation therefore obviously in
that condition I lose myself shooting out the
my phone
I open google maps and start looking
where are they, in short, how will you return to
my guest house arrives the first intersection
second crossing I take out the phone
and control the road
in short, humidity is the number one enemy
of technology so in a short time it is
my phone stops working
black screen I put it back in the backpack me
arrabatta and I can get back to mine
guest house
after which I leave the phone there and me
but I tell you a couple of hours you
all the classics will start again
techniques and put the smartphone in the rice
leave there in the sun in short, go to the
owner of my guesthouse e
he began to inform me about where I could
go and buy a new one
because I have to find the system
to recover
one thing is enough for me
impractical in the sense of he tells me
but you have to take a bus then a taxi
one thing is five hours of road
quite demanding so I put away
the thought of buying a new one
phone but my continues not
to recover that was the first
time in life when I really have
I experienced what I later discovered
be the year mo phobia or anxiety from
no longer have the phone with me
I swear I felt undressed anxiety
he kept looking at this screen
black I said no but it does not take place
never seen a smartphone that breaks
now as I do then there are four
weeks in Indonesia alone I do not have a
tablet I do not have a computer I have nothing else
I must be no no but so every time
ok, time
did not solve anything my phone does not
he recovered and I really understood
what I later read later
that is our smartphone but it comes
described as our 79th organ
We in the body and we have 78 and is
just as if it had become another
part of our body now there
we have so much inside that in the moment
where it is no longer available to us
as if it cuts us to be almost a hand
and I swear to you that if someone before me
had asked but you feel like a person
very attached to the phone
in short, you’re a smartphone employee
as they say now I would have said but I
absolutely no, that is, I use it to do the
my things
in short, to kill some time
etc. but all in all I can do it to
less just does not touch me
and instead when I do not have it
had more total panic available
once back from indonesia
I go back to Italy and began to reflect on
this thing about why he reacted in
so strong way to have lost the
phone in a holiday condition in
which all in all I could really do it
unless I needed it for
work issues are a psychologist
so obviously I did a lot
of mental trips on my reactions
during during the trip respect
I used the phone and it opened there
a world
I really started studying a
understand what is then the relationship between
digital technologies and human beings
obviously I take care of the appearance
psychological and mental in this kind of
report e
so everything with the impact it then has
the use of digital on our capabilities
cognitive and of course I am here today for
talk to you about one of these aspects that is
this simply the use that each
we do a lot of smartphone for
kill time during a queue in
waiting for something that use there is a
use that is likely to go to
drastically lower ours
ability to creativity now probably
I know what you are thinking first of all
what will it be if ever when I’m on the subway from
a facebook scroll while alone in
mail queue check 2 news not
the friend casca the world so much more
I would have to do no at that time I think
nothing and according to what many me
they say when I talk about this topic
yes, even if it was me it’s not what I want
be creative in the painter life
I do someone else is not stuff
for me so even if my creativity
all in all, it does not matter
obviously I’m here today to deny myself
both of these thoughts in case
any of you had had made them
first of all the boredom and therefore the
condition in which we do nothing is
absolutely essential for the
development of creativity and in second
place creativity is a competence that
It serves everyone
let’s see them one lava at a time
you know that condition in which
there’s nothing to do
it feels a bit like if yes
looks to the ceiling unleashes
you do not do anything with your own mind
productive of concrete of sensible but yes
just let us pay for it
mind that moment from which ours
brain between huge benefit because
because first of all it sediments all of them
information previously acquired
so there is a rest phase in which i
thoughts and information we have
accumulated before they can intertwine
we can create new connections and it is
just that the moment it comes
done here is not continuing to fill
our brain of concepts
notions of images of sounds that
we do good to our mind
it also serves the vacuum
secondly creativity is one
which involves everyone
think that creating is a word that
derives from the Sanskrit car which means
to do and I think we all have some
things to do in life
creativity and soling problems are two
closely related aspects and all
we have problems to solve, I guess
that here in this room, in short, there is not
be anyone who has no issues
to be solved in your life that
are personal
professional organization of the
own working and personal life
family away saying, in short, all of us
we have the questions to solve i
problems and being creative helps us
solve our problems in more ways
effective and more sensible in my journey
in indonesia and of course I’ve had hours
and hours of great boredom of doing nothing
to look at the ceiling for those of you
had been in asia probably knows
also that the conception of time in
asia is completely different from the
our for which to wait for a means of
transport a meal the keys of one
room takes much longer than
what does not require here in the West
let alone in Milan more that we are
in the homeland, in short, of productivity
and doing things fast no more
in short in all that in all that
time I had nothing to do
that is
I did not really have anything to do with it
to shake I did not have a phone to do
two photos I did not have then I am
found to bore me very much observe the
people who passed around me but did
a chat with the one sitting down
next to me that I probably would not have
absolutely considered if he had
had a smartphone from his hand
probably and I really believe that I
in short, I thank that vacation
thank you that moment continues to
be deeply grateful to him
this thing that happened to me by chance
because it was the opportunity I have
incubated smart break or mine
project on which I work today which is the
work for which they promote healthy use and
aware of the smartphone at the time
I worked in the field of online tourism
and therefore he was a classical employee
let’s say and there was the condition in
I thought I started thinking
but I do not know I would like to do anything else I would like
create a project I would like to recover
a little more even my degree in
psychology that for a few years I have a
moment set aside I did not use in
direct way
it was just that phase that
moment of weeks hours and hours to not
do anything that allowed me in some
way of incubating to mature this idea
obviously the work I do with
smart break involves a lot the
I use my phone for a lot of work
time and so I think it’s a bit
that’s the key so many people tell me
but sorry but you go around talking about
do not use the phone too much
be technology dependent and then
But you make videos with your smartphone
publish on social media share and say
but there is a little contradiction
I believe that in short , my message
always in this sense it is the big one
question is the use we make the
how we use technology is not so much the
do not use it anymore we have in the hands of the
very powerful tools if we think that
the smartphone that we all probabimente
we have in our pocket today is much more
powerful of the computers he sent
the man on the moon and what we do
we use it in most of the
cases to watch two social notifications
play kill time
I always say a bit as if we had
all of them a ferrari in the garage and the
we used with the automatic transmission for
go and get bread at the door
next there is a bit of the paradoxical in
this condition
kevin kelly who has a known futurist e
founder of wired tells us that according to
he this is the best historical period
in which to be born because at a cost
very low
we manage to have a lot of tools
powerful in the hand that allow us to
develop our knowledge
connections reports projects and so on
saying but kelly also tells us that the
future will be of those who will manage to maintain
I live my human side and this has
much to do with creativity
so in all this the scam where
It is
in short, we have this tool
very powerful and where we fit there
we fit a lot into what is coming
called multitasking
I challenge anyone of you that is included in me
in short, not without taking anything away from me
itself not to have at least once
answered a message while
we walk sent an email while we are
in a social gathering meeting while
we are in company or we have anyway
the illusion of being able to do more things
together and the smartphone gives us power
besides this illusion because
It seems it seems it seems that we are more
productive no if we respond to an email
while we are walking we use i
times a bit that the feeling in
In short, reality has been demonstrated by now
in many sauces so many searches away
saying that multitasking does not exist
our brain simply
jump from a task to a task b
creating an overload and a
fatigue of our mind from the
our energy and therefore not making us
more productive but simply
getting tired is a bit of the rip-off
so we should learn to slowly
return somehow to make one
thing at a time and do it well to bring it to
term in my work
one of the main things I do is
to organize occasions and
events to bring people to
detach from the smartphone
my goal is not to say a
6 phone dependent now secure
you and I take it away from you that way at least
heal absolutely no mine
goal is simply to
create the conditions to bring the
people to reflect a moment
on the use they make of digital e
on putting awareness in this
relationship we have with gods
very powerful but risky tools
also to steal a lot of time and a lot
energy when we do not use them in
conscious way
on the occasions that I organize that
they can be, in short, a few hours
day a couple of days for those with a
little more arcore wants to do things a bit
more powerful, I have several feedbacks
give by the participants from the people and there
I want to tell you, in short, among the
main benefits that people me
report on this occasion there
story with the words of those who have
so here I am not with mine
first benefit that in many me
many tell me eh, I realize
how automatic is the behavior of
go look for the gabriele phone
saint peter who is an entrepreneur a
father of two sons in his day
without a phone he tells me I have passed
moments during this day a bit of
after also of relaxation and relief but the
What amazed me the most is how many
sometimes he put his hands in his pockets for
go look for him and I knew very well of
I did not know it all
family relatives friends who do not
I had it so I did not have a need
to go and take it in my hand but me
it was instinctive to go looking for it is not
the only one if we think that on average
we touch the smartphone over 2,600
times a day
I believe there is almost nothing else
what we do with this frequency
in short, the behavior that includes a
external object but once that
we can detach ourselves
from the automation of these
behavior
here we see that there is a world
around us we observe what is going on
happening around us in this serum that
is a mother is employed here in Milan
in his day without a phone
he says I relaxed in the morning and the
afternoon made snack with mine
daughter is simply I had nothing
to share nothing to post anything
to check
I watched what was happening
I spent some time around with me
my daughter
everything here seems trivial but have the
phone in hand leads us to what
then it is described as the como la
proud swing out ie fear of
get lost something
we are very focused on hunger
check why who knows that maybe
something happens on the other side of the
world that I must know now why
if I do not know, I’m sick, that is, it seems like a
compulsive need almost sometimes but
there is not we do not realize that in
reality then this behavior leads us
to lose the physical world we have
at that moment the relationships that are
around us the people we have of
front
because we can not do more things in one
time and then we are focused there and there
we lose what we have here one
Once I come I can stay in
this moment in the here and now in the
relationships in the moments we have in
that moment very often people me
they say I totally relaxed
I felt like I was on vacation and I
I say it cost so little to go in
vacation in short, you avoid taking a
plane ticket but it’s just a day
without phone e
save a lot of money and time
but it is the report the feedback that me
give so many
elena meli who is a journalist of the
RCS group in its day without
phone tells me they were al
restaurant with a friend and I felt
continuously the ringtones equal to
mine and I was completely relieved because
it could not be my phone then
I was on vacation completely returned to
home and his daughter mom says you were
totally relaxed you looked like another
person
the journalist then tells me exactly
it took so little to look like another
person I refer to because change
very very effective and with a few
investment no here so these are
a bit the three main benefits that the
people report when they come off
even for a short period of time
these are people who have made one
day without a phone does not know how I am
a journey of weeks or as moreno
that crashes a month without a phone and
so here it is a little bit this sense
returning to my trip to Indonesia
obviously I survived healthy and
save I’ve been here for three weeks
beautiful that they gave me too
the opportunity to experience the journey
holiday in a totally different way I have
known people that I would never have
known they ended up in situations in
which I would never have finished
if I had a phone
probably it would have been another
trip so I recommend it here because
anyone of you who wants to try it
I would like to end this this short
intervention with a small invitation that me
I would love to take you home today
is my little invitation to this the
next time you have the instinct of
put your hands in your pocket in your bag for
look for the phone
try at least sometimes during the
your day stop you remove the
hands from the pocket relax a moment
give you this moment of emptiness of us
he knows he does not do anything to let him wander
your mind and enjoy it there are
There are several things that can happen
in this space at this moment who
he knows that in a moment of total
we are empty that we are not used to
in reality, then, do not come to value
an idea you do not look at something in the world
around you
do not believe a connection in the
your head then at that point
maybe you can go deeper into one
second moment
taking your smartphone in hand
but it will be a gesture no longer automatic
which you are not you do not realize me but
it will be an absolutely conscious thing
thank you

hands from the pocket relax a moment
give you this moment of emptiness of us
he knows he does not do anything to let him wander
your mind and enjoy it there are
There are several things that can happen
in this space at this moment who
he knows that in a moment of total
we are empty that we are not used to
in reality, then, do not come to value
an idea you do not look at something in the world
around you
do not believe a connection in the
your head then at that point
maybe you can go deeper into one
second moment
taking your smartphone in hand
but it will be a gesture no longer automatic
which you are not you do not realize me but
it will be an absolutely conscious thing
thank you
