Heard On Central Time

Do we spend too much time looking at our phones or tablets? Is social media interaction taking the place of face-to-face conversation? A national organization is encouraging people across the country to take part in a Day of Unplugging in order to connect with the people around us. We explore the importance of taking a break from technology. We also get the story behind the Hillary Clinton email controversy, and review the top headlines from around the state this week in our Wisconsin News Roundup. Then, we cover people’s reactions to the closing of the Gogebic Taconite office in Northern Wisconsin.
