LOOKUP aiuta a riconoscere il giusto peso nell’uso dei dispositivi tecnologici, per eliminare l’ansia da notifica e da social network. Uno strumento che ti aiuterà a evitare sovraccarichi tecnologici e ad alzare letteralmente lo sguardo per dedicarti ai piaceri della vita offline! Come funziona? Fai partire il timer e al termine di 20, 40 o 60 minuti vengono accumulati dei punti “UP”, ma attenzione! Se il timer viene attivato e poi si esce dalla app, il timer si interrompe, perdendo i progressi in corso! Riuscirai a resistere alla tentazione di sbloccare lo smartphone? Rimangono attive le funzionalità delle notifiche in entrata (chiamate, email, notifiche social, ecc..). Il timer viene disattivato durante la notte, quindi non vengono accumulati “UP” dalle 00:00 alle 06:00 della tua timezone. Gli “UP” che vengono accumulati possono essere utilizzati per ottenere esperienze, prodotti o servizi (validi in ITALIA) da vivere nel mondo reale! A disposizione per te prodotti, libri cartacei ed esperienze per giovani e adulti e anche la possibilità di veicolare donazioni ad enti non-profit. Più sarai costante con l’utilizzo di LOOKUP, più evolverà la tua immagine profilo e, di conseguenza, anche gli UP accumulati saranno sempre di più. Partirai da “palloncino sgonfiato” fino a diventare “Maestà di Palloncilandia” o addirittura “San Palloncino”. Riuscirai a resistere? Quando accumuli “UP” a sufficienza per riscuotere un premio che ti piace tra i tanti proposti lo puoi inserire nel carrello, confermare l’ordine e in quel momento otterrai una mail di riepilogo con il premio che hai deciso di riscuotere. Attendi qualche giorno e sarà nelle tue mani. Raccogli l’invito ad alzare lo sguardo dal mondo digitale e acquisisci maggiore consapevolezza dell’utilizzo della tecnologia: usiamola a nostro vantaggio, non facciamoci usare da essa! Dedicati ad attività gratificanti del mondo fisico grazie ai premi che ottieni, è giunta l’ora di alzare lo sguardo!
