==History== In 1994, the week was first championed by TV-Free America and its founder Henry Labalme, and promoted by [[Adbusters]] magazine and other organizations. TV-Free America then became Center for SCREEN-TIME Awareness. CSTA was an organization that encouraged all people to use electronic screen media responsibly and then have more time for a healthy life and more community participation. It was a [[grassroots]] alliance of many different organizations, with participation in over 70 nations around the world. CCFC changed the name of TV-Turnoff Week to Screen-Free Week in 2010, since entertainment media (and [[advertising]]) are increasingly delivered through a variety of screens (computers, hand-held devices, etc.), and not just traditional [[television commercial]]s. In 2008, [[Adbusters]] changed the name of '''TV Turnoff Week''' to '''Digital Detox Week''' to reflect the growing predominance of computers and other digital devices.
