We’re pretty happy people, but ...
![Page 4: SXSW 2017: Unplugged - ISO Tech Detox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/589f96691a28ab1b198b6475/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In 2013, we started to feel anxious, a little too attached to our phones.
![Page 5: SXSW 2017: Unplugged - ISO Tech Detox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/589f96691a28ab1b198b6475/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We realized we took them everywhere.
![Page 6: SXSW 2017: Unplugged - ISO Tech Detox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/589f96691a28ab1b198b6475/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
And it felt bad being always available.
![Page 7: SXSW 2017: Unplugged - ISO Tech Detox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/589f96691a28ab1b198b6475/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So we sought out an experience where there was no tech. Pholia Farm in Oregon to be specific.
![Page 8: SXSW 2017: Unplugged - ISO Tech Detox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/589f96691a28ab1b198b6475/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Our phones didn’t work there. At first we were anxious.
And then, we started to relax. And talk. And read books. And enjoy nature.

And make friends with a goat.

And another goat.

And yet another goat.
![Page 12: SXSW 2017: Unplugged - ISO Tech Detox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062502/589f96691a28ab1b198b6475/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ok.
We befriended all of the goats.
We even went on a hike with them.
It was wonderful.

The experience got us thinking about how much we miss out on, when we’re always connected to tech.
And that it is necessary to do tech detoxes in a variety of ways to reconnect with life and the ones you love.

We’ve been studying tech detox TOURISM, CULTURES and TRENDS for the past three years.
We’d like to share with the SXSW communitiy what we’ve learned.
