Bloomberg Pursuits Senior Features Writer Thu-Huong Ha tells Bloomberg This Weekend about spending 48 hours in Singapore without relying on a smartphone, navigating a city where transportation, payments, dining and government services are deeply integrated with digital technology. Speaking with hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini, Ha says the experiment required more patience and effort but also made her more observant of her surroundings and convinced her there is value in experiencing boredom without immediately reaching for a screen. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET Saturday & Sunday 7am-10am ET WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BloombergRadio Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: http://bit.ly/3DWYoAN Bloomberg Surveillance: http://bit.ly/3OPtReI Bloomberg Intelligence: http://bit.ly/3YrBfOi Balance of Power: http://bit.ly/3OO8eLC Bloomberg Businessweek: http://bit.ly/3IPl60i
