Mr. Mercier's interest in tech addiction stems in part from personal experience.
He enjoys camping on Lakes Michigan and Superior in the summer, where he enjoys the privilege of escaping the Internet. It was during a camping trip in August, 2014, that he decided to trade his Droid in for a flip phone. He went through serious withdrawal for 3-4 weeks, but once he got through that he never looked back. |
It was during another camping trip in August, 2017, that he decided to get off of Facebook. He accomplished this by essentially deconstructing his profile --- by unfriending all of his friends (after private messaging them to explain what he was doing), and unjoining all of his groups. While he still maintains a profile in order to partake in the occasional Scrabble game, he hasn't posted anything in over 3 years.
