IT’S good to see that singer Gary Barlow has imposed a curfew in his household on gadget use.

The Take That star has a “blue light curfew” at 8pm and has encouraged his wife, Dawn, and three children to do the same.

He decided on the move away from technology after going on a week-long digital detox in Portugal and found he emerged healthier, happier and lighter than before.

He’s right.

We could all do with cutting back on checking emails, Twitter and Facebook and just turn our phones off for a while.

We really don’t need that technology dependence.
