The ATYM Program

We do not have stringent rules for dealing with technology, but rather a set of flexible recommendations:

• Question and study the effects of technology on your life and your world.
• Critique technology with friends and family and discuss alternatives.
• Minimize your dependence on social media.
• Acknowledge your own unhealthy usage of technology and take steps to address it.
• Try turning your smartphone screen to black and white.
• Delete apps that steal your time.
• If possible, revert to a simple flip phone, or no cell phone at all.
• Spend time reading, writing, drawing, making music, thinking, stretching instead of online or watching corporate programming.
• Spend time in transit or at home without any media--just think, meditate, or be.
• Start a local group like ATYM.
• Spend more time making your own culture than consuming a corporate culture meant to enslave you.
