A foreign company has caused a stir by offering a reward for not using a mobile phone for a month.
According to reports, a dairy product brand (Siggi) from Iceland has offered a reward of $10,000 to 10 lucky individuals who do not use a mobile phone for a month as part of their “Digital Detox Program.”
Selected participants will securely store their smartphones in a provided box and live without a mobile phone for a month. Upon successfully completing the challenge, they will be rewarded with $10,000.
In a statement on their website, the company said, “We challenge you to leave your smartphone. We believe in the power of living a simple life with less distraction.”
The company stated that the biggest distraction in our lives today is our phones; in fact, on average, a person spends four to five hours a day on their phone.
According to the website, applications for the program are open until January 31. If you are willing to take a break from your digital life and potentially win a significant reward, visit Siggi’s website to submit your application.
