Nuns and Tech: 'You have no choice'

Do you feel like you need a digital detox? Instead of paying for an expensive retreat to unplug, we discovered an unusual place actively trying to minimise the use of technology.

A hundred metres away from London's famous Oxford Street - a bustling shoppers paradise - is the Tyburn Convent. Mother Hildegarde, the convent’s secretary general, and her fellow nuns strive to live a life of silence and prayer. But as the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Tamasin Ford found out, the digital world is slowly creeping into the nuns' lives.
