Signal A social media challenge to fly long-haul with no stimulation at all
Summary
This signal is a TikTok challenge in which participants take long-haul flights without digital devices or even a book. Sitra cites a July 2024 article on the so-called rawdogging of flights. Going without any stimulation for hours is treated as a feat worth filming and sharing. It reflects curiosity about, and demand for, stepping away from constant input. Ironically, the challenge itself spreads through social media. Sitra lists it among signals behind an imagined 2046 magazine column in which digital peace becomes a key selling point of travel.
