Digital minimalism
A philosophy of technology use in which a person keeps only the apps, devices and online activities that clearly support what they value, and drops the rest. It treats each use as a deliberate choice rather than a default habit.
Origin
Popularized by computer scientist Cal Newport in his 2019 book Digital Minimalism; Vitalik Buterin discussed his own version in an October 31, 2026 essay.
