A Q&A With Neema Moraveji Of Stanford University’s Calming Technology Lab. As part of my Ph.D. research at Stanford, I surveyed a number of different physiological indicators that would help provide feedback about one's state of mind as well as provide actionable feedback to do something about it.

Imagine being a technology pioneer who, by definition, has to stay wedded to the web. This past year, a number of big names in the digital world took on this exact challenge. Paul Miller, senior editor at The Verge, did without the web for an entire year, documenting his experiment as it happened — and then after the fact — for his technology-focused media site. At roughly the same time, Baratunde Thurston took three weeks off of the Internet, an eternity for someone who is the CEO of his own comedic digital agency and product development company and who friends refer to as “the most connected man in the world.”

The Truth About Women's Complicated Relationship With Technology. A poll released today by the Huffington Post and Real Simple finds that technology plays an essential -- though complicated -- role in women's lives. Women are so reliant on their devices that 69 percent of those polled sleep with their smartphones in their bedrooms, 68 percent keep them close by during dinner, 76 percent look at them at least once an hour, and of those women, almost half peek every 15 minutes or more.
(Given those numbers, perhaps it's not surprising that almost half say they would rather go a month without sex than a month without their phones.)

However, women (70%) worry more about losing their phones than men (61%). 11 Things I Gained When I Lost My Smartphone.
