A few summers ago I went three weeks without any news at all. No TV, no internet, and even avoiding physical newspapers. At the end of the three weeks I was excited to go online and see what I had missed. I found that I had not missed a single thing worth knowing about in the long term. All the energy I would have spent on the news in that time would have been for nothing. I am back to being a daily news consumer but I wonder how much time I am wasting.
