Screen-Free Week – May 4-10, 2015
Screen-Free Week is a fun way to reduce our dependence on digital entertainment, including television, video games, smartphones, tablets, and computers. It’s a chance for children—and adults—to power down and reconnect with the world around them.
O.K., I’ll commit to that. I admit, I am addicted to computer games. After a long day of work, I like to relax (sometimes it isn’t that relaxing…more stressful than relaxing…weird) and play with a couple of on-line gamer friends. But I can tone it down a bit…and on May 4th, I will go electronic free…except for answering my cell phone. My cell phone is one of the old stupid phones…so there’s no problem setting it aside because I only use it for talking to people and texting.
Alright everyone…good luck…and commit!
