My Digital Addiction

From the correspondent:
By Phil Lavelle

Would you - a shy Brit - spend a weekend locked up in a forest with a load of crazy Americans? Would you give up your phone, tablet and every other digital device you own? I did both this summer - and initially felt like I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

My journey started in a hotel restaurant in February. As I sat there, minus my laptop (which was charging in my room), I surveyed the table in front of me. There was a smartphone, a tablet, a pair of noise cancelling headphones and a Kindle, not to mention the fitness band on my wrist.
