One of the most powerful things I have got from it is I have completely stopped reading the news and anyone reading this even if not tempted to give up your smartphones, please try giving up the news. For the most part its poison and as above EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WILL FIND YOU.

National and international news, largely agree. Local news, not so much. It's important to know broadly what is going on around your immediate physical locality. That said I guess you can get a fair bit of it from talking to people. But that is Madness!

Stopped reading the news 2-3 years ago - I'm not sure what I'm missing localy to call it madness, have examples? Still seem to pickup what's broadly going on from talking to people/whatsapp/lfgss/etc.

Same.

My news is primarily twitter jokes that I then back-fill using my wonderfully powerful brain to work out what happened. If it seems like something I need to know more about then duckduckgo.com
