  • I Turned My Phone Off For 7 Days and This Happened. I've wanted to do a digital detox for a long time, travelling to the west coast of Scotland in a Mclaren GT seemed like the perfect opportunity to quit my phone for a supercar. I explore Scotland whilst understanding what life can be like with no phone, internet or social media.

    Great Video. I don’t do any social media, watch occasional motorcycle reflated RUclips videos. Prefer not to take my phone if I go out, more people should do this. They will see so much more. Well done Taylor.

    I lived over 40 years without a mobile phone. Navigated all over the U.K. and Europe with a map. If you broke down you had to walk to an un destroyed payphone. We all survived…

      That's because all the other stuff was maintained and worked an people were used to it. You phones someone on a landline, arranged to meet and to both turned up on time. Paper maps were everywhere. Librarys had books about stuff. We read the news and thought about it. It was simple, BUT: I remember when a girlfriend call me up to say she have broken down and I couldn't find her. Last month my Samba school went to Germany by 5 different routes and we all got to the same place and when the organizers changed plans, we all changed ours. We had our documents on our phones. We took photos and videos of out trip, BUT BUT : most of the photos were taken better by other people, relying to on people to look at the phone when they are in the pub is foolish. Much of the news on our phone is fake. Perhaps we need a middle ground.

      @@thewrongbike7709 LMAO yea it was all perfect. People turned up on time? What planet did you live on then, if you were even an adult.The difference was we were more resourceful, not winging shrinking violets. As for things maintained, please note my comment a “Working Payphone” OS maps are still more efficient that a Sat Nav, no drop outs etc. I still carry them in my car, no batteries required.

    this video had a weird effect on me, ive known deep down that my phone distracts me from life. but society now almost requires you to have a smartphone, I'm now trying to figure out a way to make my life work without a smartphone.
    Thanks Taylor! cracking video as always!

    Will power is something most people don't have, but you showed you have it! But after hearing that phone with all the bells going off, it looks like you are going to be busy for a while. At least you got to drive the Mclaren. See hard work does pay off.

    As always, great video. Considering how busy your life is with all that the race team etc entails that took some will power to turn off all social media.
    Fantastic that you and your partner got to spend quality time together.
    Followed you,brother and Dad throughout racing and I am not 'blowing smoke up your axse' but this world is a far better place with you and you family on it. You really are, all, decent and humble human beings. Wish you all well and the very best.🏍🏍

    My work is very tech orientated so the phone is always with me and always on... and i hate it. I recently toured Spain and the Pyrenees on my motirbike. It was 7 days of not being able to use my phone for large portions of the day. It was bliss. I would happily bin the smartphone, however..... I would get lost in a phone box as my sense of direction is the worst in the world. Great video always mate.
