The Record
In 'Disconnected,' three Carleton College students, Andrew Tatge, Caitlin Magnusson, and Mitchell Lundin, undertake an experiment to live without computers for a designated time. They aim to navigate their academic, social, and work lives without modern technology, including platforms like Facebook, email, and YouTube. The film captures their experiences as they attempt to complete assignments and maintain relationships in a world heavily reliant on digital communication. As the students grapple with their digital detox, the documentary raises significant questions about technology dependency and its impact on human interactions. It reveals how the absence of technology forces them to rediscover forgotten methods of connecting with themselves and others, providing a stark contrast to their usual tech-saturated lives.
