Karlie Kloss has regular tech breaks

Karlie Kloss has a digital detox every week.

The 23-year-old model - who has been dating digital entrepreneur Joshua Kushner for four years - thinks it is very important to "totally shut off" from technology on a regular basis in order to connect with both herself and those around her.

She said: "I will totally shut off and not post Instagrams or answer my emails. I think it's important to step away for a minute and actually reconnect with people and reconnect with yourself.

"We live at a very fast pace and sometimes you can lose priorities and perspectives."

But Karlie insists she and Joshua don't have a 'no phones in the bedroom' rule.

She said: "I keep my phone pretty close to me."

Despite being a prolific user of social media, Karlie insists she is "kind of old-fashioned" in her choice of communication methods as she would rather interact face-to-face.

She told Britain's ELLE magazine: "I prefer to sit and have a conversation and feel present. As transformative and wonderful as technology is, at times I think being so absorbed in these online personas can make it hard to exist in the actual moment."
