Did anyone participate in National Unplug Day? It started Friday, March 23rd at sundown and ended March 24th at sundown. The day encouraged people to eliminate your phone, computer, and TV during this time.
I was not able to do this! It was in the back of my mind that I should have tried the caveman life for a day, but just ignored it!
1. My favorite show was on TV Friday night.
2. I texted my friend and made get-together plans.
3. The computer was used to look up a restaurant menu.
4. I called a restaurant to confirm it was open.
5. I looked up addresses on my cell phone.
Oh well, at least I resisted social media sites. Today, everything is immediate. We need to know answers now! I am glad I knew what it felt like not having a cell phone or computer when I was little. Sometimes I feel excessive when it comes to being sucked into a video game or in the endless search of youtube videos. It is best to use our technology in moderation, so we don't lose track of the simple things in life. Getting to know your family off-line, face-to-face interaction with your peers, and even meditation can allow you to know yourself and others on a different level.
Sucked into a video game? Psssh, not going to happen :)
