| KSG Strategic Consulting Issues a Challenge to Technoholics: Pick Up the Phone on August 27, 2009 Nationwide Effort Aimed at Overly-Teched Individuals |
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KSG Strategic Consulting Media Inquiries: Jillian P. McKoy, 215-680-3392 Email:publicrelations@ksgsc.com |
Facebook: Pick Up the Phone.
Stribling announced the challenge on her Midweek Musings blog today
(www.myspace.com/ksgsc), urging professionals and students alike to put down the
keystroke and pick up a phone to communicate with others.
"While I make light of my own story about being a Technoholic, constant connection, and in
some cases, addiction to technology, can ravish relationships," said Kesi Stribling. In an
effort to encourage people to take one day off from using emails, texts, and communicating
via social networking sites, the self-professed Technoholic wants Americans to use a more
traditional method to reach out to others on Thursday, August 27: the telephone.
Stribling urges employees to use Pick Up the Phone Day to have a conversation with a
co-worker by telephone, instead of an impersonal email. She also encourages parents to
pick up the phone and call children after school, rather than sending a text to find out if they
have made it home safely.
"We take for granted the stimulation and socialization that come from having real, human
interaction, which results from a telephone or face-to-face conversation," Stribling opined.
"Our hope," she continued, "is that by taking one day to communicate by telephone we
reconnect with those who have a role in our lives beyond typing a message and pressing
send. Let the real conversations begin again."
