On 30 May 2026, the Internet Society India Mumbai Chapter (ISOC Mumbai), in collaboration with Your Space, hosted a webinar ‘Chronically Online | A Workshop on Digital Fatigue & Burnout‘. This was a live, virtual, interactive session exploring how constant connectivity affects our attention, rest, emotions, and sense of self. Through conversation, small activities, and reflection, it looked at digital fatigue, doomscrolling, “fake rest,” pressure to always be available, overstimulation, and what it means to pause and recharge.
