Tech Creche: Fighting Smartphone Addiction One Pony at a Time

In exchange for leaving your technology stowed away in its Tech Creche, a park promises ponies -- adorable, galloping nearly-wild ponies!

Everyone loves ponies — but do they love them even more than smartphones and tech gadgets? That’s the logic behind the Tech Creche at England’s New Forest National Park. In exchange for leaving your technology and car stowed away, the park promises ponies — adorable, galloping nearly-wild ponies! There’s hardly a better trade-off for not taking dangerous selfies.

In the promotional video below, you can hear comedian and celebrity impressionist Phil Cornwell voice Young David Attenborough as he observes a family of humans leaving behind their devices at the Tech Creche for a gadget-free day at the park.

Creche, in British parlance, means “nursery,” so the concierge service acts like a tech-sitter for your digital toys.
