Could You Go 7 Day Without Electronics???
Trying to keep this thing going. So today I watched a episode of Oprah which got me to thinking as only Oprah can. On the show there were three families who signed up for a 7 day experiment which required them to give up all of their electronics. In 2009 that is really a hard thing to do. And some of the family members took it kind of hard in the beginning. But towards the end of the 7 days, the family had discovered many new activities to do around the house with their family members. I understand the concept and everything but it really got me to thinking about if I could actually give up ALL electronics for a whole week. I agree family is important and you should really devote your time to doing family activities, but for a whole week without anything. I am talking stripped to just family and conversation. In the experiment each family had to take everything electronic out of the house and put it into a van which was driven away by the Oprah show. No cell phones, No TV's, No IPods, No Computers, Nothing. How would you cope? Could you do it? What would you miss the most? It is a very interesting experiment considering how much we all depend heavily on these things on a day to day basis. But I really think the reward of family time will outweigh the burden of giving everything up. But of course this is coming from a person who will lose her mind if I even think for a second that I don't have my IPod or cell phone with me. So what do you think? Holla.
