Can you go without your computer for a day?

My family believes in family quality time, which means that every weekend we spend time together as a family. It could be going to the movies, bowling or just browsing through stores. We don’t have a set agenda most of the time, but we do make sure that we spend time together. This means that we are off the computer for at least one day on the weekends. It has been a way to teach our children that the computer is not the most important item in the house and that if it was gone tomorrow that they can still survive.

It would be difficult to remember life without computers. Most people handle their banking online to include bill payments, they go shopping online and some people even date online. If you want to drop someone a quick note, instead of writing them a letter you send them an email. If you want to read a good story instead of picking up a book, people go online to different websites. I think it is important for people to spend time away from the computer. It can become an addiction like anything else, and it is up to us to realize that it isn’t the only thing in our lives.

The next thing we know is that there will be a computer to cook our food and we just have to tell it what we want. My daughter would enjoy this but is it the best thing for our society. Without the socialization time with family and friends, you become pale and boring. You need to step away from a computer and spend time living your life. Everyone should take at least one day a week and don’t turn your computer on, spend time with your family and friends, go to a movie, go for a walk. There are many things you can do, it is just up to your imagination. Have fun with life, there is much more to it than the computer can ever provide.
