We often feel like we're stuck online too much - constantly connected via smartphones and tablets to our digital lives. As a result, we've seen some interesting projects encourage 'switching off', from online platform [Recess](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/02/recess?ref=protein.xyz) to a niche [summer camp](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/03/camp-grounded?ref=protein.xyz) for adults.   
Now, Manhatten-based design studio [The Way We See The World ](http://www.thewayweseetheworld.com/?ref=protein.xyz)have created a new product to help us disconnect - [Blokket](https://www.momastore.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay%5FBlokket%5F10451%5F10001%5F162338%5F-1%5F26663%5F26666?ref=protein.xyz). A simple concept, Blokket is a phone pouch that blocks signal from the phone inside, thus forcing users to switch off and disconnect from their digital distraction.  
Its interesting to see more products encourage enforced digital downtime. Check it out for yourself [here](https://www.momastore.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay%5FBlokket%5F10451%5F10001%5F162338%5F-1%5F26663%5F26666?ref=protein.xyz).
