electronics diet

[MR.C]

I'm just playing with the idea of an electronics diet, ie. no tv, cellphone, pc, tablet, gaming console,etc.

Reason ?
Just to have quality time with friends and family. Modern family time is more like father playing on tablet or pc and kids with their cellphones or tablets or busy gaming and their isn't that much communication between family members in the home.

Anyone tried something like it, for how long, any change in family relations ?

Damn, you missed your chance this year ....National Day of Unplugging

I think you should give it a try as it doesn't sound like a bad idea, i managed nearly 2 weeks and it was torture . Let us know how it goes as everyone is different.

I was in C.T. on holiday when i did it as i had no access to a PC :/.

The best family time my family has had was when we had the rolling blackouts from Eskom

Play games with your children, instead of each their own.

I heard a story of a family with 2 children. Parents downstairs, children on their computers upstairs communicating via BBM

I have to say though for someone who lives alone PC, laptop, tablet, phone are my best friends when TV would otherwise be the entertainment of choice.
