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!

Isn't that what your eyes and ears are for? My local news is essentially irrelevant to my life.
"New pensioner care facility opens", "youth squad targets vandalism", "cafe owner unhappy with parking limits" YAWN.
