THE FIVE BEST NEW TECHNOLOGY SLOGANS IN NEW APP

365 Positivity, a new quotes app, delivers original technology slogans that could make you question your habits, or even change your life. By Ben Arogundade.

CHANGE YOUR DIGITAL: A selection of original technology slogans from the new wellbeing app 365 Positivity.

IS TECHNOLOGY EVIL? Are computers and mobiles detaching us from our humanity, separating us from real interactions with family and friends? The answer is, yes and no, depending on who you are. The Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama, when asked in a recent Time interview whether he thought Facebook and Twitter help or hurt our happiness, replied, “It depends on how you use them. If the person has a certain inner strength, a certain confidence, then it is no problem. But if an individual’s mind is weak, then there is more confusion. You can’t blame technology. It depends on the user of technology.”

TECHNOLOGY SLOGANS
Ironically, the new inspirational quotes app, 365 Positivity, utilises technology to encourage users to be less technological. A number of its 365 slogans that are downloaded each day are about mobile phone culture, and the way we allow these devices to distract us from facets of our visceral flesh and blood existence. “Don’t be a phone zombie,” states one of its humorous mantras. “Do you touch your mobile more than you touch yourself?” asks another.

Downloaded in over 60 countries, the app’s messages, which consist of original writing, cover a wide range of topics aside from technology slogans — including love, kindness, motivation, compassion, success, diet and the beauty of nature. The quotes arrive via an alarm function that allows users to receive their messages at whatever time of the morning, afternoon or evening they prefer, and they can also refer back to their favourites at any time, or share them with others, as all quotes are stored within the app’s archive.

MOBILE DISTRACTION
At best, 365 Positivity may act as a gentle or humorous prompt for mobile users who stare down into their screens for hours a day, to think more about how much time they spend locked within the digital moment, as opposed to the analogue, “being in the now” moment. Amongst the app’s technology slogans there are messages that are relevant for everybody, including you.
