In Australia, just like in Japan, teenagers have smartphones and are always connected to the Internet. Unfortunately, some of them spend too much time online and cannot make friends. Now there is a nine-day digital detox bootcamp where parents can send their teenagers to get them away from technology. Veterans run the camp. They get the teenagers to exercise, and they take them on adventure activities like sky-diving and hiking. The veterans believe that if the teenagers learn teamwork and feel better about themselves, they can control their use of technology. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
