You Can’t Read This Magazine Until You Disconnect From the Internet

The battle for your attention rages from the moment you open your eyes until you close them at night. With the world at your fingertips, simple things like eating and reading become part of a multitasking experiment. The hand without a fork or book in it seems to always find the keyboard so you can check your email or Instagram feed. The Disconnect is a new online magazine that demands your full attention, and to get it the mag makes you shut off the Internet. Yup, you can’t read the short stories and articles in The Disconnect until you turn off your WiFi. Okay, we get that there are workarounds, but you get the point. No more mindlessly doing eight things at once. The Disconnect wants you to read a magazine like you were meant to read a magazine.
