Pew Research Center revealed that more and more Facebook users are taking a break from that website. And a local bar and restaurant had just started to promote their Digital Detox event that will outlaw any contact with one's mobile device for the duration of the evening On the other end of the spectrum, we have Actor's Theater of Louisville and their second The Balcony event where social networking would not only be encouraged, it would be catered to.
