unplugging
Removing from outlet
Unplugging is disconnecting something from an electrical source: Try unplugging the router and plugging it back in.
Figuratively, unplugging means stepping away from technology or constant connectivity to rest or reset: I'm unplugging this weekend—no emails, no social media.
The metaphor treats digital life as a power source we can temporarily disconnect from.
