I have a boss at my current slow lane job. He has an actual job working with cable companies to dispatch technicians and to basically enter their data basis and fix things. A heavy STEM field using lynix and all those very complex things. He works remotely meaning they can call him at any minute night or day. I know this is very stressful and he is compensated very well. That is about all I know. I also know he is often working at his kids track meets and baseball games.
This week I was watching all these Ted talks on how everyday we are increasingly dependent on technology. Kids from my generation can't seem to shake the screens no matter what they are. Computers, phones, video games. It is ridiculous. It is also sad as social norm are forever erased from our society. Look at my post history and if you know me I am remarkably old fashioned. I was brought up that way. Now in alot of the ted talks people had "detached" themselves from their phones. What if we offered a service to people that let this happen easily. From what I know in shipping this is what it could look like.
They request the service. we send them a prepaid box. The box pre done up so that the phone wouldn't break.
We hold their phone for say 3 days. Call it the "3 day phoneless challenge" or the "connection reset" or what have you. Then after 3 days we ship it back.
Interesting right? Most people this is impossible due to phone related obligations. I am constantly spitting out ideas to my boss and he liked this one. Like an excused way to get away from his phone.
