The philosophy of digital maximalism, which many people live by unknowingly, holds that anything we miss out on by not indulging in a particular technology, is essentially stolen from us because we missed an opportunity. Digital maximalists download mobile applications that they do not want or need, and they check them frequently out of fear of missing opportunities. In Digital Minimalism, Newport first introduces this new philosophy, “digital minimalism.” Its antithesis, digital maximalism, refers to the philosophy of accumulating as many advantages as possible from digital technology.

Cal Newport is a professor of computer science at Georgetown University.
